Abstract
Various aspects of an object weight estimation system are described, to enable weight estimation of an object to be transferred from an object source (e.g., a human or an ambulatory robot) that holds the object using one or more arms. One technique includes: tracking an object to be transferred from the object source to a robot; identifying, from at least one image captured by the robot, a posture of the object source; identifying respective segments of the object source from the posture of the object source; determining an estimated weight of the object based on a center of gravity of the object source, as the center of gravity of the object source is calculated in real-time from a balance of the respective segments; and causing a responsive action with the robot, based on the estimated weight of the object.
