Abstract
A robotic system is disclosed. The system includes a communication interface that receives, from one or more sensors deployed in a workspace, sensor data indicative of a current state of the workspace. The system includes one or more processors that use the sensor data to estimate a state of one or both of the pallet or other receptacle and the set of zero or more items stacked on or in the receptacle, and use the estimated state to generate or update a plan to control a robotic arm to place a next set of items on or in, or remove the next set of items from, the pallet or other receptacle, the plan comprising an ordered sequence of item placements or removals. The plan is generated or updated based at least in part by performing a bounded tree search in which a subset of possible ordered sequences is explored.
