Abstract

Robotic bin-picking is a common process in modern manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing that aims to pick-up known or unknown objects with random poses out of a bin by using a robot-camera system. Rapid and accurate object pose estimation pipelines have become an escalating issue for robot picki...
