Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatuses for controlling a robot including a manipulator, including: determining three-dimensional (3D) geometry information about a target object based on an image of the target object; determining 3D geometry information about a scene in which the target object is to be placed based on at least one image of the scene; obtaining affordance information by providing the 3D geometry information about the target object and the 3D geometry information about the scene to at least one neural network model; commanding the robot to grasp the target object using the manipulator according to a grasp orientation corresponding to the affordance information; and commanding the robot to position the manipulator according to a placement direction corresponding to the affordance information in order to place the target object at a location in the scene.
