Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for delegating object type and/or pose detection to a plurality of “targeted object recognition modules.” In some implementations, a method may be provided that includes: operating an object recognition client to facilitate object recognition for a robot; receiving, by the object recognition client, sensor data indicative of an observed object in an environment; providing, by the object recognition client, to each of a plurality of remotely-hosted targeted object recognition modules, data indicative of the observed object; receiving, by the object recognition client, from one or more of the plurality of targeted object recognition modules, one or more inferences about an object type or pose of the observed object; and determining, by the object recognition client, information about the observed object, such as its object type and/or pose, based on the one or more inferences.
