Abstract
A tire picking system () performs a process for picking one or more tires stored in an unknown arrangement and for which a target location must be realized. A gripper () and a robot () including a gripping device () supported by a pivotable elongated arm (), the gripping device extending from the elongated arm to a free end () where the gripper is disposed, form part of the system (). An image processing module applies data representative of the physical environment around the robot () to a deployed neural network in order to determine one or more parameters of a target tire (P*); the robot is set in motion based on the determined parameters of the target tire, so that the gripper can pick a target tire (P*) selected by the system () from among the stored tires.
