Human-robot interactive workspace

This invention describes a system that helps a robot understand where objects are in its workspace. It uses a camera to capture a scene including a display screen showing a special calibration image and any objects obstructing it. By knowing the screen's position, the system calculates an object's precise location relative to the robot, with one version requiring the camera to be at least ten meters from the screen.

Why it matters: Filed before widespread adoption of real-time 3D pose estimation and spatial AI. These advancements could simplify calibration and improve object localization accuracy.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, image processing, robot integration
