Recently, substantial progress has been made in the machine
perception, particularly computer vision, largely due to the
advancements in deep learning techniques. However, robots often
operate in unstructured environments, which differ greatly from the
well-defined problems typically addressed in computer vision.
Consequently, many existing computer vision solutions are not directly
applicable to robotics. Additionally, modern intelligent robots have
access to multi-modal sensory information, rather than relying on a
single modality. Therefore, it is essential to explore the specific
challenges of multi-modal robotic intelligence. A key requirement for
all intelligent robots is the capability of active perception. Active
perception is an effective approach to bridge the gap between robotics
and machine perception. Intelligence emerges when the robot actively
interacts with the environment, embodying a close coupling of
perception and action within a continuous feedback loop. Perception
guided action, and each movement generate information that informs
subsequent movements. With a variety of available multi-modal sensory
information, it is crucial for robots to leverage active perception
techniques to achieve multi-modal robotic intelligence. This book
introduces multi-modal robotic intelligence from the perspective of
active perception. Extensive robotic multi-modal active perception
problems are formulated and corresponding case studies are described.
Specifically, this book is organized in three parts. Part I covers
core concepts and approaches for multi-modal robotic intelligence. In
Part II, active perception for robotic intelligence is described,
which presents several typical active perception tasks. Part III
further describes the multi-modal active perception for robotic
intelligence. The book is primarily intended for researchers and
graduates with a foundational knowledge of machine learning, spanning
in a wide range of disciplines, particularly those involved in robotic
intelligence and sensor fusion.
