Abstract: A method in accordance with at least some embodiments of the present technology includes generating, by data-processing hardware operably associated with a mobile robot, a putative object estimate. The method further includes determining, by the data-processing hardware, a location of a landmark within a working environment in which the mobile robot operates. The method further includes determining, by the data-processing hardware, an expected object location in the working environment based at least partially on the location of the landmark. The method further includes determining, by the data-processing hardware, a correspondence between the putative object estimate and the expected object location. The method further includes processing, by the data-processing hardware, the putative object estimate based at least partially on the correspondence. Finally, the method includes controlling the mobile robot based at least partially on a result of processing the putative object estimate.

Abstract: A method in accordance with at least some embodiments of the present technology includes providing an image and a plurality of indicators. The image depicts an environment of a robot and corresponds to vision data collected by a vision sensor of the robot at a given timestep of a plurality of timesteps. Indicators among the plurality of indicators correspond to respective expected object locations within the environment. The method further includes receiving user input indicating a user identified state of the given one of the expected object locations based at least partially on the image. Finally, the method includes associating additional vision data with the user identified state of the given one of the expected object locations at least partially in response to receiving the user input. The additional vision data is collected by the vision sensor at additional timesteps of the plurality of timesteps.
