Claim 13:
14. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by a computer having a processor to perform a method for visuo-tactile object pose estimation, the method comprising:
receiving image data about an object in an environment;
receiving depth data about the object;
generating a visual estimate of the object by processing a combined dataset of the image data and the depth data into a reconstructed fused image;
receiving tactile data about the object;
generating, separately, a tactile estimate of the object by processing the tactile data; and
estimating a pose of the object based on the visual estimate and the tactile estimate, wherein
the visual estimate is generated based on a first convolutional neural network (CNN) to process the combined dataset of the image data and the depth data.
