Finding Anomalies with Generative Adversarial Networks for a Patrolbot

Wallace E. Lawson, Esube Bekele, Keith Sullivan

Abstract: We present an anomaly detection system based on an autonomous robot performing a patrol task. Using a generative adversarial network (GAN), we compare the robot's current view with a learned model of normality. Our preliminary experimental results show that the approach is well suited for anomaly detection, providing efficient results with a low false positive rate.
