Description
Summary:Autonomous indoor service robots are affected by multiple factors when they are directly involved in manipulation tasks in daily life, such as scenes, objects, and actions. It is of self-evident importance to properly parse these factors and interpret intentions according to human cognition and semantics. In this study, the design of a semantic representation framework based on a knowledge graph is presented, including (1) a multi-layer knowledge-representation model, (2) a multi-module knowledge-representation system, and (3) a method to extract manipulation knowledge from multiple sources of information. Moreover, with the aim of generating semantic representations of entities and relations in the knowledge base, a knowledge-graph-embedding method based on graph convolutional neural networks is proposed in order to provide high-precision predictions of factors in manipulation tasks. Through the prediction of action sequences via this embedding method, robots in real-world environments can be effectively guided by the knowledge framework to complete task planning and object-oriented transfer.
