ABSTRACT

Methods, apparatuses, systems, computing devices, and/or the like are
provided. An example method may include determining a height value associated
with a highest object on a pallet; causing a light detection and ranging
(LiDAR) sensor to travel to a height based at least in part on the height
value; determining whether a detection signal from the LiDAR sensor indicates
a first clear status; in response to determining that the detection signal
indicates the first clear status, causing a robotic arm to lift the object
until the detection signal indicates a blocked status and then a second clear
status.
