Abstract

A system for object loading recognition associated with a plurality of objects, which may include a sensor for measuring distances between the sensor and the plurality of objects; a linear slider, wherein the sensor is coupled to the linear slider and is moved linearly by the linear slider; a processor; and a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions executable by the processor to: measure surfaces of the plurality of objects using the sensor; recognize dimensions, positions, and orientations of the plurality of objects based on the measured surfaces to identify recognized objects; calculate a confidence of each of the recognized objects; identify undistinguishable objects from the recognized objects based on the calculated confidences; calculate an approachable distance for each of the undistinguishable objects; and move the sensor towards the plurality of objects by a distance that corresponds to a minimum approachable distance from the calculated approachable distances.
