Abstract
Methods and systems for remote perception assistance to facilitate robotic object manipulation are provided herein. From a model of objects in an environment of a robotic manipulator, a virtual boundary line separating two adjacent identified virtual objects may be identified. The robotic manipulator may be configured to perform a task involving a manipulation of at least one object in the environment represented by the identified virtual objects. Based on the identifying, a request for remote assistance with verifying the virtual boundary line may be sent to a remote assistor device. A response to the request, including a modification to the virtual boundary line, may then be received from the remote assistor device. The robotic manipulator may then be caused to perform the task based on the modification to the virtual boundary line.
