Ashutosh Saxena, assistant professor of computer science at Cornell University, In his Robot Learning Lab, developed a robot, equipped with a 3D camera, that scans its environment and identifies the objects in it, using computer vision software previously developed in Saxena's lab.
The robot has been trained to associate objects with their capabilities: a pan can be poured into or poured from; stoves can have other objects set on them, and can heat things. The robot can identify the pan, locate the water faucet and stove and incorporate that information into its procedure.
