Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B

Claim 16:
17. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having program instructions stored thereon for controlling a robotic device, wherein the program instructions, when read and executed by a processing system, direct the processing system to at least:
attempt, via the robotic device and while the robotic device is in a test mode, to pick up an object, wherein the object is representative of other instances of the object and the robotic device has never previously attempted to pick up any instances of the object;
if the robotic device successfully picks up the object in the test mode:
subject the object, via the robotic device, to one or more test stimuli while the robotic device is in possession of the object;
record test results indicating a physical reaction of the object to the one or more test stimuli and a level of confidence associated with the successful picking up of the object based on the physical reaction; and
add the object to a whitelist indicating that the robotic device may attempt to pick up the other instances of the object during normal operation; and

if the robotic device does not successfully pick up the object in the test mode:
record failed pick results indicating that the robotic device failed to pick up the object; and
add the object to a blacklist indicating that the robotic device should not attempt to pick up the other instances of the object during the normal operation.
