description IntroductionService robot technology is increasingly gaining prominence in the field of artificial intelligence. However, persistent limitations continue to impede its widespread implementation. In this regard, human motion pose estimation emerges as a crucial challenge necessary for enhancing the perceptual and decision-making capacities of service robots.MethodThis paper introduces a groundbreaking model, YOLOv8-ApexNet, which integrates advanced technologies, including Bidirectional Routing Attention (BRA) and Generalized Feature Pyramid Network (GFPN). BRA facilitates the capture of inter-keypoint correlations within dynamic environments by introducing a bidirectional information propagation mechanism. Furthermore, GFPN adeptly extracts and integrates feature information across different scales, enabling the model to make more precise predictions for targets of various sizes and shapes.ResultsEmpirical research findings reveal significant performance enhancements of the YOLOv8-ApexNet model across the COCO and MPII datasets. Compared to existing methodologies, the model demonstrates pronounced advantages in keypoint localization accuracy and robustness.DiscussionThe significance of this research lies in providing an efficient and accurate solution tailored for the realm of service robotics, effectively mitigating the deficiencies inherent in current approaches. By bolstering the accuracy of perception and decision-making, our endeavors unequivocally endorse the widespread integration of service robots within practical applications.
