ABSTRACT

A method in accordance with a particular embodiment of the present technology
includes retrieving an object from a starting location by grasping the object
between two end effectors of a mobile robot. The method further includes
generating, by data-processing hardware operably associated with the mobile
robot, an object reference corresponding to a pose of the object at a time
after retrieving the object and while the object is in contact with the end
effectors. Generating the object reference is based at least partially on
perception data corresponding to the object and includes generating a
three-dimensional reference corresponding to a feature of the object based at
least partially on a two-dimensional estimate from a neural network and a
three-dimensional reference corresponding to a different feature of the
object. Finally, the method includes controlling the mobile robot based at
least partially on the object reference.
