Application: Control device, control method, and storage medium (Patent ID: US20240208047A1)
The patent filed by NEC Corp describes a control device that acquires recognition results of objects related to tasks for robots, displays this information in a way that overlaps with the actual scene, and allows for corrections to be made based on external input. The device can display virtual objects representing the recognized objects, receive corrections related to the position, posture, deletion, or addition of these virtual objects, and even receive corrections regarding the attributes of the objects. Additionally, the device can determine the necessity of corrections based on the confidence degree of the recognition results and adjust the display mode accordingly.
Furthermore, the control device can determine an operation plan for the robot based on corrected recognition results, convert tasks into logical formulas, generate subtasks for the robot to execute, and adjust the display of information based on confidence levels. The patent also covers a control method executed by a computer and a computer-readable storage medium storing a program that enables the acquisition, display, and correction of recognition results related to robot tasks. Overall, the patent focuses on improving the accuracy and efficiency of robot tasks through the integration of recognition technology and external input for corrections.
