Original Abstract Submitted
one common robotic task is the rearrangement of physical objects situated in an environment. this typically involves a robot manipulator picking up a target object and placing the target object in some target location, such as a shelf, cabinet or cubby, and requires the skills of picking, placing and generating complex collision-free motions, oftentimes in a cluttered environment. the present disclosure provides collision detection for object rearrangement using a three-dimensional (3d) scene representation.
