Abstract(in English) Although cleaning robots are put in practical use and became familiar to us, they only collect objects which look like trash on the route of them, and advanced work in cleaning such as sorting out trash have not been actualized. On this research, we aim a new cleaning robot which automatically recognize and collect trash, and we propose active object recognition for trash sorting out. First, by projecting and analyzing a laser light pattern on the surface of an object, it distinguish the surface shape such as curved, plane, or fold, to recognize trash. Next, the robot determines whether trash or not, by observing position displacement of an object before and after contacting and applying pressure, to presume the weight. We verified effectiveness of this method by experiment on object recognition to distinguish trash at laboratory.
