Amazon Object Manipulation Taxonomy

Autonomous robotics is revolutionizing the current commercial landscape across many different fields to create more efficient and safe solutions for repetitive tasks. Amazon Robotics is a leader in the use of robotics in object manipulation and remains committed to pushing innovation and exploration in the field to deliver a broad range of products to consumers at a low cost. This year’s SCOPE team created an extensible object taxonomy framework and implemented an integrated active perception system to predict the performance of various object gripping strategies. This system can be used to enable a more diverse range of robot picking form factors and increase accuracy in warehouse operations at Amazon.
