モンテカルロ木探索による複数物体の再配置：平面非把持仕分けの事例研究

原文アブストラクト

In this work, we address a planar non-prehensile sorting task. Here, a robot needs to push many densely packed objects belonging to different classes into a configuration where these classes are clearly separated from each other. To achieve this, we propose to employ Monte Carlo tree search equipped with a task-specific heuristic function. We evaluate the algorithm on various simulated and real-world sorting tasks. We observe that the algorithm is capable to reliably sort large numbers of convex and non-convex objects, as well as convex objects in the presence of immovable obstacles.
