Abstract
A model for semantic navigation for service robots to find out-of-view objects in an indoor environment is provided. Initially, the system receives a target object to be reached by the mobile robot in the indoor environment. Further, a current location of the mobile robot is identified by a localization technique. An embedding corresponding to each of a plurality of visible regions is computed using a pretrained Graph Neural Network GNN. The GNN is pretrained using a trajectory data and a spatial relationship graph associated with the indoor environment. Further, a similarity score is computed for each of the plurality of visible regions based on the corresponding embedding using a scoring technique. An optimal visible region is identified by comparing the similarity score. Finally, a next action to be taken by the mobile robot selected from a plurality of actions based on the optimal visible region.
