RobotSeg introduces the first foundation model for segmenting robots in images and videos, accompanied by the large-scale Video Robot Segmentation (VRS) dataset. The model integrates structure-enhanced memory and a robot prompt generator, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy, temporal consistency, and label efficiency across diverse robot embodiments and tasks.

Key insights

  • Integrating robot-specific structural priors and temporal memory into a foundation segmentation model greatly improves accuracy and consistency for segmenting articulated robots in dynamic scenes.
  • Autonomous prompt generation, combining class-level semantics with dynamically extracted object-level cues from historical memory, enables fully automatic and temporally coherent robot segmentation without manual intervention.
  • Label-efficient training strategies, leveraging cycle, semantic, and patch consistency losses, can effectively train robust video segmentation models using only first-frame ground truth, making large-scale video dataset annotation practical.
