Abstract

A method and system are provided for training a robot to recognize objects in the workspace of the robot. Objects in the workspace are identified by the user, and the robot determines candidate objects. Feedback may be used in order for the user to confirm whether the candidate object determined by the robot system matches the object intended by the user. Gripping information for the object may also be identified by the user to train the robot how to grip the object.
