Data Annotation Experience in Mobile Manipulators for Nursing Assistance
This project encompassed the entire pipeline from data collection to deployment, focusing on gathering images of tableware, annotating them for object detection, training a YOLO-based detector integrated with a ROS2 planner, and deploying the system using Docker for reproducibility. Data labeling involved identifying various tableware items, drawing bounding boxes around them, and conducting a quality assurance review to ensure accuracy and consistency in the annotations. The project included the collection of over 5,000 images and approximately 20 hours dedicated to labeling and reviews, with collaboration from a team of four individuals to enrich the process. Quality measures included establishing clear annotation guidelines, targeting a 90% inter-annotator agreement, implementing a two-tier review process for accuracy, and conducting integrity checks to verify completeness and correctness of the annotations.
