OPENTECHNICAL PUBLICATION OT-2026-000002223 System and Method for Object Segmentation for Task Performance Published: 2026-09-15T19:11:34.357649Z Permanent URL: https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000002223 Categories: Robotics & Automation > Robot Architectures ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ABSTRACT Embodiments disclosing a controller for controlling a robot to perform a task are provided. The task is performed in an environment that is represented by an input image. The controller causes segmenting of an object in the input image. A confidence level of segmentation is updated by comparing the segmented object with constrained affined transformations of a template of the object. The constrained affine transformations are based on constraints indicative of a property of the object. The property of the object and the updated confidence level of segmentation are then used for performing the task. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenTechnical publication OT-2026-000002223 Published 2026-09-15T19:11:34.357649Z https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000002223
