First, the vehicle receives the order to search for a specific object. It leaves its home base and starts the search.
Secondly, by using the object detection system based on Deep Learning, the vehicle will search and approach to an specific object.
Thirdly, when the detected object is at a close distance, it will be picked up with the designed gripper system. Finally, the robot will search for its home base to go to it and deposit the object.
