Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to a system of a delivery device for combining sensor data from various types of sensors to generate a map that enables the delivery device to navigate from a first location to a second location to deliver an item to the second location. The system obtains data from RGB, LIDAR, and depth sensors and combines this sensor data according to various algorithms to detect objects in an environment of the delivery device, generate point cloud and pose information associated with the detected objects, and generates object boundary data for the detected objects. The system further identifies object states for the detected object and generates the map for the environment based on the detected object, the generated object proposal data, the labeled point cloud data, and the object states. The generated map may be provided to other systems to navigate the delivery device.
