The rc_reason Pack software module provides an out-of-the-box perception solution for autonomous packing. It enables robotic pick-and-place applications that need to place previously picked objects inside a packing volume, such as a box, bin or onto a pallet.
It enables the identification of placement poses for objects inside a packing volume. The software analyzes the current filling state of the packing volume and selects the lowest placement position that provides stable support for the object. Thus, the remaining space is maximized, and as many packing options as possible remain available for the next object to be placed.
Given the bounding box of the object to be placed and the grasp(s) that can be used to pick it up, Pack computes a pose at which the object can be placed, taking the current filling state of the packing volume into account. The place pose is chosen to be the lowest position that provides stable support for the object, thereby maximizing the residual space left after placing.
In addition, the module offers:
