Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for deblurring an image captured by a robot-mounted camera. One of the methods comprises capturing, using a camera that is attached to an arm of a robot, an image at a first time, wherein the image exhibits motion blur, and wherein the exhibited blur was caused by movement of the arm of the robot at the first time; receiving, from a robot control system of the robot, motion data characterizing the movement of the arm of the robot at the first time; generating a motion kernel using the received motion data; and generating a deblurred image by processing the image using the motion kernel.
