    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to robotic devices and artificial intelligence. More specifically, some embodiments relate to an artificial neural network training method that does not require extensive training data or time expenditure. The few-shot training model disclosed herein includes attempting to pick up items and, in response to a failed pick up attempt, transferring and generalizing information to similar regions to improve probability of success in future attempts. In some implementations, the training method is used to robotic device for picking items from a bin and perturbing items in a bin. When no picking strategies with high probability of success exist, the robotic device may perturb the contents of the bin to create new available pick-up points. In some implementations, the device may include one or more computer-vision systems.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to robotic devices, computer vision, and artificial intelligence. More specifically, some embodiments relate to object tracking using neural networks and computer vision systems. In some embodiments, a computer vision system for object tracking captures one or more images of a first scene, wherein the first scene corresponds to a first location, identifies a distinct object in the first scene based on the one or more first images, directs a robotic device to move the distinct object from the first location to a second location, captures one or more second images of a second scene, wherein the second scene corresponds to the second location, and determines if the distinct objects is in the second scene based on the one or more second images.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to robotic devices and artificial intelligence. More specifically, some embodiments relate to a robotic device for picking items from a bin and perturbing items in a bin. In some implementations, the device may include one or more computer-vision systems. A computer-vision system, in accordance with the present technology, may use at least two two-dimensional images to generate three-dimensional (3D) information about the bin and items in the bin. Based on the 3D information, a strategy for picking up items from the bin is determined. When no strategies with high probability of success exist, the robotic device may perturb the contents of the bin to create new available pick-up points and re-attempt to pick up an item.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to robotic devices and artificial intelligence. More specifically, some embodiments relate to modeling uncertainty in neural network predictions using bounding box predictions for imaged objects. In some embodiments, a computer vision system for guiding robotic picking utilizes a method for uncertainty modeling that comprises identifying a three-dimensional object in one or more images of a scene, wherein at least one side of the 3D object is not visible to the computer vision system. The method further comprises predicting a plurality of volumes that comprise the object, wherein each volume of the plurality of volumes comprises at least a portion of the object. From the plurality of volumes, a confidence level may be determined for each volume, wherein the confidence level represents a likelihood that the volume contains the entire object.
