Utility
Method and system for selecting a preferred robotic grasp of an object-of-interest using pairwise ranking
17 Oct 23
A method for selecting a preferred robotic grasp of an object-of-interest using pairwise ranking includes: identifying a robotic candidate grasp usable to grasp the object-of-interest, the object-of-interest situated in an environment; receiving a grasp preference for a preferred candidate grasp of the object-of-interest; calculating a heuristic to describe a relationship of the candidate grasp to one or more of the object-of-interest and the environment; and using the heuristic and using the grasp preference, computing a pairwise ranking of two candidate grasps to determine an ordering of the at least two candidate grasps.

Methods and Systems of Navigational State Detection for Unobservable Regions
12 Oct 23
A method includes: maintaining a map of occupied regions of a facility; controlling a sensor of a mobile apparatus to capture sensor data within a field of view (FOV); based on a current location of the mobile apparatus in the facility, identifying an unobservable occupied region, located outside the FOV, in the map; selecting, from the map, a first reference occupied region having a first reference identifier, and a second reference occupied region having a second reference identifier; generating a first connection score associating the unobservable occupied region with the first reference occupied region, and a second connection score associating the unobservable occupied region with the second reference occupied region; selecting a handling operation for the unobservable occupied region, based on the first and second connection scores; updating the map according to the selected handling operation; and controlling a locomotive assembly of the mobile apparatus according to the updated map.
