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.
