Abstract
Smart homes can provide complementary information to assist home service robots. We present a robotic misplaced item finding (MIF) system, which uses human historical trajectory data obtained in a smart home environment. First, a multi-sensor fusion method is developed to localize and track a resident. Second, a path-planning method is developed to generate the robot movement plan, which considers the knowledge of the human historical trajectory. Third, a real-time object detector based on a convolutional neural network is applied to detect the misplaced item. We present MIF experiments in a smart home testbed and the experimental results verify the accuracy and efficiency of our solution.
