Abstract

Systems and methods for semantic robot hazard avoidance with multi-modal prompting are provided. In one aspect, a method includes receiving a user input indicative of one or more hazards in an environment of the robot and image data indicative of the one or more hazards in the environment. The method also includes generating one or more segments of the image data. Each of the one or more segments corresponds to at least one of the one or more hazards indicated by the user input. The method further includes identifying a semantic label for each of the one or more segments, generating a hazard map including a location of each of the one or more segments and the corresponding semantic label, and navigating the robot through the environment based at least in part on the hazard map.
