Locating “Handles” and Retrieving Baggage

Locating “Handles” and Retrieving Baggage

Using a masterless approach, AI recognizes the "handles" of suitcases and paper bags loaded on a cart, enabling the robot to retrieve the baggage.

Instructing by the General Term

Instructing by the General Term "Handle" Without Individual Teaching

With conventional rule-based vision functions, it is necessary to register models for each type of suitcase, bag, and paper bag with a different shape. In contrast, AI-powered masterless vision eliminates the need for individual teaching. Users can simply instruct the AI using general terms like "handle" to recognize objects.
