Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, from a first sensor on a robot, first sensor data indicative of an environment of the robot. The method also includes identifying, based on the first sensor data, an object of an object type in the environment of the robot, where the object type is associated with a classifier that takes sensor data from a predetermined pose relative to the object as input. The method further includes causing the robot to position a second sensor on the robot at the predetermined pose relative to the object. The method additionally includes receiving, from the second sensor, second sensor data indicative of the object while the second sensor is positioned at the predetermined pose relative to the object. The method further includes determining, by inputting the second sensor data into the classifier, a property of the object.
