Robots are often used within the industry for automated tasks that are too dangerous, complex, or strenuous for humans, which leads to time and cost benefits. Robots can have an arm and a gripper to manipulate the world and sensors for eyes to be able to perceive the world. Human vision can be seen as an effortless task, but machine vision requires substantial computation in an attempt to be as effective as human vision. Visual object recognition is a common goal for machine vision, and it is often applied using deep learning and generic object detection. This thesis has a focus on robot guidance systems that include a robot with its gripper on the robot arm, a camera that acquires images of the world, boxes to detect in one or more layers, and the software that applies a generic object detection model to detect the boxes. Robot guidance systems’ performance is impacted by many variables such as different environmental, camera, object, and robot gripper aspects. A survey was constructed to receive feedback from professionals on what thresholds that can be defined for detection from the model to be counted as correct, with the aspect of the detection referring to an actual object that needs to be able to be picked up by a robot. This thesis has implemented precision, recall, average precision at a specific threshold, average precision at a range of thresholds, localization-recall-precision error, and a manually constructed counter based on survey results for the robot’s ability to pick up an object from the information provided by the detection, called pickability score. The metrics from this thesis are implemented within a tool intended for analyzing different models’ performance on varying datasets. The values of all the metrics for the applied dataset are presented in the results. The metrics are discussed with regards to what information they portray together with a robot guidance system. The conclusion is to see the metrics for what they are best at by themselves. Use the average precision metrics for the performance evaluation of the models, and the pickability scores with extended features for the robot gripper pickability evaluation.
