Abstract: This disclosure describes, in part, techniques for identifying facility status updates using opportunistic data gathering from independently controlled devices operated by users within the facility. For instance, system(s) may determine first status information for inventory and/or locations within the facility and determine associated freshness scores. In response to a freshness score being below a threshold level, the system may determine imaging locations for the independently controlled devices to be positioned at to capture image data to update information on the inventory or locations. The system may receive uploaded image data from a fleet device after it opportunistically reaches the imaging location and captures image data. The system may then update the facility status information and the freshness score for the particular location.

Abstract: Image data from an image sensor is input into a predictive model to identify perimeter edges of a set of cuboidal items held on a pallet. Depth data from a depth sensor is used to identify a top surface of a first cuboidal item of the set of cuboidal items. Coordinates associated with corners of the first cuboidal item are identified using information about the perimeter edges and the top surface. The coordinates are used to generate instructions for a robotic manipulator to pick up the first cuboidal item.
