  • SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR OBJECT DETECTION AND PICK ORDER DETERMINATION
    Publication number: 20230182315
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for object detection and pick order determination for a robotic device are provided. Information about a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) object faces of the objects in the environment may be processed to determine whether each of the plurality of 2D object faces matches a prototype object of a set of prototype objects stored in a memory, wherein each of the prototype objects in the set represents a three-dimensional (3D) object. A model of 3D objects in the environment of the robotic device is generated using one or more of the prototype objects in the set of prototype objects that was determined to match one or more of the 2D object faces.
