AnyBox framework achieves 36-point AP gain in box pose estimation

Researchers have developed AnyBox, a novel zero-shot framework designed for accurate 9DoF pose estimation of boxes in cluttered environments. This system leverages the geometric regularity of boxes to jointly determine their pose and dimensions from a single RGB-D observation. AnyBox incorporates a depth-consistency filter and an early-stopping rule to handle challenges like symmetry and occlusion, significantly improving detection accuracy and success rates in robotic manipulation tasks. AI

IMPACT This framework could significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of robotic manipulation in logistics and manufacturing by enabling better object recognition in cluttered environments.

    AnyBox: Efficient Zero-Shot 9DoF Pose Estimation of Boxes for Robotic Manipulation

    arXiv:2511.15884v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Recovering the 9D pose of objects, both their 6D pose and 3D dimensions, under clutter and occlusion is a core requirement for warehouse automation, logistics, and manufacturing. Model-based methods are accurate but assume…
