Abstract
Various embodiments of the present technology generally relate to robotic devices and artificial intelligence. More specifically, some embodiments relate to a robotic device for picking items from a bin and perturbing items in a bin. The robotic device may include one or more picking elements and one or more perturbation elements for disturbing a present arrangement of items in the bin. In an exemplary embodiment, a perturbation element comprises a compressed air valve. In some implementations, the robotic device may also include one or more computer-vision systems. Based on image data from the one or more computer-vision systems, a strategy for picking up items from the bin is determined. When no strategies with high probability of success exist, the robotic device may perturb the contents of the bin to create new available pick-up points.
