Abstract

A method for controlling a robotic system includes: capturing, by an imaging system, one or more images of a scene; computing, by a processing circuit including a processor and memory, one or more instance segmentation masks based on the one or more images, the one or more instance segmentation masks detecting one or more objects in the scene; computing, by the processing circuit, one or more pickability scores for the one or more objects; selecting, by the processing circuit, an object among the one or more objects based on the one or more pickability scores; computing, by the processing circuit, an object picking plan for the selected object; and outputting, by the processing circuit, the object picking plan to a controller configured to control an end effector of a robotic arm to pick the selected object.
