    摘要: It is recognized herein that robots or autonomous systems can lose time when computing grasp scores for empty bins. Further, when grasps are attempted on empty bins, for instance due to the related grasp score computations, the robot can lose additional time through being used unnecessarily to attempt the grasp. Such usage can wear on the robot, or damage the robot, in some cases. An autonomous system can classify or determine whether a bin contains an object or is empty, for example, such that a grasp computation is not performed when the bin is empty. In some examples, a system classifies a given bin at runtime before each grasp computation is performed. Thus, systems described herein can avoid performing unnecessary grasp computations, thereby conserving processing time and overheard, among addressing other technical problems.
