Abstract
A method and system for optimizing the pose of a picking tool with respect to at least one previously selected item in a topmost layer of target items to be picked from a transport structure are provided. The method includes the step of generating all legal poses of the picking tool with respect to the configuration of items on the topmost layer in which the picking tool subtends the at least one previously selected item. The method also includes selecting the picking tool pose for picking the at least one previously selected item based on the generated legal poses.
