Abstract
Vision based systems may select actions based on analysis of images to redistribute objects. Actions may include action type, action axis and/or action direction. Analysis may determine whether an object is accessible by a robot, whether an upper surface of a collection of objects meet a defined criteria and/or whether clusters of objects preclude access.
