Say Cheese!: Experiences with a Robot Photographer

چکیده
We have developed an autonomous robot system that takes well-composed photographs of people at social events, such as weddings and conference receptions. The robot, Lewis, navigates through the environment, opportunistically taking photographs of people. In this paper, we outline the overall architecture of the system and describe how the various components inter-relate. We also describe our experiences of deploying the robot photographer at a number of real-world

(Not) Interacting with a Robot Photographer
We have deployed a robot “photographer” at several events. The robot, Lewis, navigates through the space, opportunistically taking photographs of people. We summarize the different types of human-robot interactions we have observed at these events, and put forth some possible explanations for the different behaviors. We also discuss potential models for human-robot interactions in this constrai...
متن کاملAn autonomous robot photographer
We describe a complete, end-to-end system for taking well-composed photographs using a mobile robot. The general scenario is a reception, or other event, where people are roaming around talking to each other. The robot serves as an “event photographer”, roaming around the same space as the participants, periodically taking photographs. These images are then sent to a workstation where participa...
متن کاملPicture Composition for a Robot Photographer
We explain how to use simple composition rules to drive an automated, mobile photography system. The composition rules are used to determine both the location for a good photograph, and how to frame that photograph. We describe the composition component in the context of a larger application, a robotic photographer. The robot moves around an area with people in it, opportunistically looking for...
متن کاملAcquiring Object Experiences at Scale
The aim of this project is to improve the performance of automatic object detection, tracking and manipulation by using robots to collect a corpus of perceptual data for one million real-world objects. Robots lack the ability to robustly identify, localize, and manipulate the objects in our daily lives. The field of object detection and recognition is driven by annotated corpora [21, 8, 15, 26]...
