    Abstract: Apparatuses, methods and storage media associated with an environment recognition system using SLAM pipeline with semantic segmentation are described herein. In some instances, the system is mounted on the body of the robotic apparatus, and includes one or more light sources, to illuminate a portion of an environment that surrounds the apparatus; a camera, to capture one or more images of the illuminated portion of the environment; and a processing device coupled with the camera and the light sources, to process the captured images, using semantic segmentation of the images applied in a SLAM pipeline. The processing is used to identify a position of the body of the apparatus, and/or a position of one or more objects disposed in the illuminated portion of the environment, based at least in part on a result of the processing of the one or more images. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for optimizing sensory signal capturing by reconfiguring robotic device configurations. In an implementation, upcoming sensor readings are predicted based on navigation path data. Based on the predicted sensor readings, optimized sensor parameters that will improve the quality of resulting sensory signals are determined. Sensors of a robotic device are reconfigured based on the optimized sensor parameters. In another implementation, deficiencies in sensory signals are determined. A motion configuration of a robotic device is optimized based on the deficiencies to allow for capturing better quality sensory signals.
