Abstract

This paper proposes a novel framework that enablesa robot to learn ordinal object relations. While mostrelated work focuses on classifying objects into dis-crete categories, such approaches cannot learn ob-ject properties (e.g., weight, height, size, etc.) thatare context-specific and relative to other objects.To address this problem, we propose that a robotshould learn to order objects based on ordinal ob-ject relations. In our experiments, the robot ex-plored a set of 32 objects that can be ordered bythree properties: height, weight, and width. Next,the robot used unsupervised learning to discovermultiple ways that the objects can be ordered basedon the haptic and proprioceptive perceptions de-tected while exploring the objects. Following, therobot’s model was presented with labeled object se-ries, allowing it to ground the three ordinal relationsin terms of how similar they are to the orders dis-covered during the unsupervised stage. Finally, thegrounded models were used to recognize whethernew object series were ordered by any of the threeproperties as well as to correctly insert additionalobjects into an existing series.
