Abstract
Autonomous operations, such as robotic grasping and manipulation, in unknown or dynamic environments present various technical challenges. For example, three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of a given object often focuses on the geometry of the object without considering how the 3D model of the object is used in solving or performing a robot operation task. As described herein, in accordance with various embodiments, models are generated of objects and/or physical environments based on tasks that autonomous machines perform with the objects or within the physical environments. Thus, in some cases, a given object or environment may be modeled differently depending on the task that is performed using the model. Further, portions of an object or environment may be modeled with varying resolutions depending on the task associated with the model.
