Opening Doors: An Initial SRL Approach

Opening doors is an essential task that a robot should perform. In this paper, we propose a logical approach to predict the action of opening doors, together with the action point where the action should be performed. The input of our system is a pair of bounding boxes of the door and door handle, together with background knowledge in the form of logical rules. Learning and inference are performed with the probabilistic programming language ProbLog. We evaluate our approach on a doors dataset and we obtain encouraging results. Additionally, a comparison to a propositional decision tree shows the benefits of using a probabilistic programming language such as ProbLog.
