In Star Wars Rebels, there was an E-XD-series infiltrator droid that could quickly take inventory of everything in a Rebel warehouse. With the advanced object recognition capabilities of modern AI, it’s only a matter of time before an app for Android can accurately and rapidly identify and store objects in real-time from video capture. This could be similar to a home inventory app where users only need to capture video and move around the house instead of taking pictures and labeling items. When do you think such an app will become available? Also, what is the closest app available right now?
edit: I didn’t say offline or on-device, I don’t know why everyone assumes that. I mean a service offered through an Android app.
Not likely in the near future, probably not feasible in the long term either. It’s not just about recognising an object. You could write a program that recognises a screw but you’d need far more complicated sensors and algorithms to identify the dimensions, specific characteristics, material composition, design specifications, etc, then apply that to every screw, bolt, washer, small component and assembly, tubes, threaded rods, tyres, pistons, brake pads, resistors, capacitors, diodes, seals, consumables, etc.
For a long time, I think that kind of thing would be wildly inaccurate, hugely expensive, massively complicated, and much less efficient than asking a human to kindly go over there and check all those things manually.
