Claim 17:
18. A robot system for picking up an object from a group of objects using a robot, said system comprising:
a camera that provides an image of the objects;
a neural network that generates a segmentation image of the objects by performing an image segmentation process that extracts features from the image and assigns a label to pixels in the segmentation image so that each object in the segmentation image has the same label, wherein the neural network provides a plurality of bounding boxes having the same orientation, aligns the bounding boxes to the extracted features using a sliding window template, provides a bounding box image that includes bounding boxes surrounding the objects, determines the probability that an object exists in each bounding box and identifies a center pixel of each object in the bounding boxes;
means for identifying a location for picking up the object using the segmentation image; and
means for rotating the object using the orientation of the object in the segmentation image, wherein obtaining an image, generating a segmentation image, identify a location for picking up the object and rotating the object are performed each time an object is picked up from the group of objects by the robot.
