Samsung patents robot that learns from user feedback on camera views
This filing describes a moving electronic device, such as a robot, that uses a camera and sensors to navigate its surroundings. It sends images to an external device where a user can correct the system's understanding of objects, allowing the device to update its recognition model and adjust its path accordingly.
In the filing’s own words
Provided is an electronic apparatus, including: a sensor; a camera; a storage configured to store first and second artificial intelligence models; a first processor; and a second processor. The second processor is configured to: input an image obtained through the camera to the first artificial intelligence model and identify the object of the first type in the image, and input the image obtained through the camera to the second artificial intelligence model and identify the object of the second type, at least a part of which is not viewable in the image. The first processor is configured to: determine a distance between the object of the first type and the object of the second type based on sensing data received from the sensor; and control the electronic apparatus to travel based on the determined distance.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic apparatus, which travels based on map information and an object recognition result, the electronic apparatus comprising: a camera; a communication interface; a driver; at least one processor comprising processing circuitry; and at least one memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic apparatus to: capture an image while the electronic apparatus travels based on the map information; obtain an object recognition result for the image; transmit, to an external device, information regarding the image according to the object recognition result; receive, from the external device, information regarding a user feedback on the object recognition result to update an object recognition model, wherein the external device displays the obtained image while receiving the user feedback; and control the electronic apparatus such that the electronic apparatus travels according to the received information regarding the user feedback.
