Abstract
A method includes receiving image data representing an environment of a robotic device from a camera on the robotic device. The method further includes applying a trained dense network to the image data to generate a set of feature values, where the trained dense network has been trained to accomplish a first robot vision task. The method additionally includes applying a trained task-specific head to the set of feature values to generate a task-specific output to accomplish a second robot vision task, where the trained task-specific head has been trained to accomplish the second robot vision task based on previously generated feature values from the trained dense network, where the second robot vision task is different from the first robot vision task. The method also includes controlling the robotic device to operate in the environment based on the task-specific output generated to accomplish the second robot vision task.
