Abstract: For collision and obstacle avoidance as well as trajectory planning, robots usually generate and use a simple 2D costmap without any semantic information about the detected obstacles. Thus a robot’s path planning will simply adhere to an arbitrarily large safety margin around obstacles. A more optimal approach is to adjust this safety margin according to the class of an obstacle. For class prediction, an image processing convolutional neural network can be trained. One of the problems in the development and training of any neural network is the creation of a training dataset. The first part of this work describes methods and free open source software, allowing a fast generation of annotated datasets. Our pipeline can be applied to various objects and environment settings and is extremely easy to use to anyone for synthesising training data from 3D source data. We create a fully synthetic industrial environment dataset with 10 k physically-based rendered images and annotations. Our da taset and sources are publicly available at https://github.com/LJMP/synthetic-industrial-dataset. Subsequently, we train a convolutional neural network with our dataset for costmap safety class prediction. We analyse different class combinations and show that learning the safety classes end-to-end directly with a small dataset, instead of using a class lookup table, improves the quantity and precision of the predictions.
