Real-Time Object Detection using Mobile Robot Captured Images: A Deep Learning Approach

Robots are becoming more and more prevalent in a variety of industries, such as transportation, agriculture, healthcare, and so forth. Deep learning is an area of study that is rapidly expanding and is applied in many fields including robots. For a robot to understand its environment and carry out tasks, object recognition is essential. This paper proposes a deep learning method that leverages both pre-existing data and real-time data for robotic object recognition which will enable robots to operate in challenging conditions. Using real-time data, CNN with decision tree is tested after being trained on both pre-existing and real-time data which yields 96% accuracy. A model has been created for reliable and accurate object recognition for robots.
