System and method for height-map-based grasp execution

This invention describes a way for a robot to pick up objects from a messy pile. It uses a camera to create a 3D map of the pile, then breaks that map into horizontal slices. For each slice, it figures out the best way for the robot to grab an object.

Why it matters: Since 2020, advancements in AI and 3D computer vision have made generating accurate height maps and selecting optimal grasps from complex scenes significantly more robust and efficient. This reduces the development burden for the core logic.
