Abstract

It is important for autonomous robots to improve capability of extracting information that is relevant to their motions. This paper presents an extraction and estimation of factors that affect behavior of object from image features in object pushing manipulation by a two-wheeled robot. Motions of image features (SIFT keypoints) are approximated with variance. By detecting correlation between the variance and positions of the keypoints, the robot can detect keypoints whose positions affect behaviour of some keypoints. Position information of the keypoints is expected to be useful for the robot to decide its pushing motion. The proposed scheme was verified in experiment with a camera-mounted mobile robot which has no pre-defined knowledge about its environment.
