Abstract
A method includes generating a workspace model having one or more robots and a plurality of image sensors, defining a plurality of pose scenarios of the one or more robots, and defining sensor characteristics of the plurality of image sensors. The method includes, for each of the plurality of pose scenarios, simulating a sensor operation of the plurality of image sensors within the workspace model based on the sensor characteristics and identifying an undetectable area within the workspace model based on the simulated sensor operation. The method includes performing a sensor placement control based on the undetectable areas associated with each of the plurality of pose scenarios.
