Abstract
Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to robotic devices and artificial intelligence. More specifically, some embodiments relate to a robotic device for picking items from a bin and perturbing items in a bin. In some implementations, the device may include one or more computer-vision systems. A computer-vision system, in accordance with the present technology, may use at least two two-dimensional images to generate three-dimensional (3D) information about the bin and items in the bin. Based on the 3D information, a strategy for picking up items from the bin is determined. When no strategies with high probability of success exist, the robotic device may perturb the contents of the bin to create new available pick-up points and re-attempt to pick up an item.
