Scene graph is a structured representation of a scene that can clearly express the objects,
attributes, and relationships between objects in the scene. As computer vision technology …

The construction industry is seeking a robotic revolution to meet increasing demands for
productivity, quality, and safety. Typically, construction robots are usually pre-programmed …

To understand and analyze human behavior, we need to capture humans moving in, and
interacting with, the world. Most existing methods perform 3D human pose estimation …

Understanding human activities and object affordances are two very important skills,
especially for personal robots which operate in human environments. In this work, we …

For robots to navigate and interact more richly with the world around them, they will likely
require a deeper understanding of the world in which they operate. In robotics and related …

Autonomous driving related researches require the analysis and usage of massive amounts
of driving scenario data. Compared to raw data collected by sensors, scenario data provide …

Many object classes are primarily defined by their functions. However, this fact has been left
largely unexploited by visual object categorization or detection systems. We propose a …

Within the realm of service robotics, researchers have placed a great amount of effort into
learning, understanding, and representing motions as manipulations for task execution by …

Recognizing manipulations performed by a human and the transfer and execution of this by
a robot is a difficult problem. We address this in the current study by introducing a novel …

This paper presents a novel structured knowledge representation called the functional
object-oriented network (FOON) to model the connectivity of the functional-related objects …
