Having a high-quality map, i.e. a geometric and semantic understanding of one’s surroundings over longer periods of time, is a prerequisite for a large variety of interactive tasks in robotics and AR, such as navigation, object search, manipulation, immersive AR experiences, or service robotics. However, state-of-the-art approaches are not yet well equipped to capture long-term dynamics in changing scenes. In this talk, we present current work a novel map representation leveraging semantic scene understanding to capture temporal changes in long-term dynamic environments and to provide the agent with object-centric multi-resolution maps.
