Cluttered Food Grasping with Adaptive Fingers and Synthetic-Data Trained Object Detection [PDF]
The food packaging industry handles an immense variety of food products with wide-ranging shapes and sizes, even within one kind of food. Menus are also diverse and change frequently, making automation of pick-and-place difficult. A popular approach to bin-picking is to first identify each piece of food in the tray by using an instance segmentation ...
