Abstract
Various aspects of visual servoing based on use of a generative diffusion model are described. One technique includes obtaining a current view image from a robot camera that captures a portion of an environment of the robot, and obtaining a spherical image from a previous view that depicts a surrounding area of the environment of the robot. The current view image is combined with the previous spherical image to produce a modified spherical image, and inpainting is performed in a mask area of the modified spherical image with a generative diffusion model. The inpainting blends the current view image with the previous spherical image, providing a view of the entire environment of the robot that can be used for visual servoing. The robot can perform path planning and visual servoing of an end effector based on the modified spherical image, independent of any use of an external positioning or localization system.
