Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting and picking up a waste receptacle, the system being mountable on a waste-collection vehicle, and including an arm for grasping the waste receptacle, a processor, a camera, a non-transitory computer-readable medium, and an arm-actuation module. The processor is configured for generating a pose candidate based on an image captured by the camera, verifying that the pose candidate matches a template representation stored on the medium, and calculating a location of the waste receptacle. The arm-actuation module can be configured to automatically move the arm in response to the calculated location, in order to grasp the waste receptacle, lift, and dump the waste receptacle into a waste-collection vehicle.
