An artificial high-level vision agent for the interpretation of the operations of a robotic arm

We describe an artificial high-level vision agent for the symbolic and graphic interpretation of data coming from a video camera that acquires the image sequences of the SPIDER robot arm of the EUROPA system during its operations. The agent generates the perception grounded predicates obtained by image sequences and it provides a 3D estimation of the arm movements, thus allowing the scientist user of SPIDER to receive meaningful feedback of his operations on the arm during a scientific experiment.
