Abstract
Technologies and techniques for annotating images of an object captured using a camera, wherein the camera is positioned on a robot arm, and wherein the robot arm includes an end effector. A position and an orientation of the camera is determined, relative to the end effector, and a first keypoint is selected on the object. Information regarding additional keypoints relative to the first keypoint is provided in object coordinates, and the end effector is guided to the position of the first keypoint. The position and the orientation of the end effector is determined at the first keypoint, and based on other determined world coordinates, the position and/or the orientation of the end effector is changed based on converted camera image coordinates.
