优化机器人循环时间
对于相机安装在手臂上的3D拾取和放置应用，我们建议在机器人拾取物体后进行捕获。使用此策略，机器人只需要在采集时间内停止。一旦采集完成，即捕获API返回时，机器人就可以开始执行放置对象的动作。同时，可以开始为获取下一个循环拾取位姿的点云处理。查看下面的实施示例。
备注
为了优化速度，可以在捕获函数返回之后和调用API获取点云之前移动机器人。

小技巧
如果您执行的是2D捕获而不是3D捕获，建议采用相同的策略。但是，如果您同时需要2D和3D数据，那么建议您查看我们的 2D+3D捕获策略 。
如果放置物体的机器人运动快于获取下一个循环拾取位姿的点云处理过程，则机器人将不得不等待。
防止机器人停止的替代方法是，对于每个循环，机器人都采用从前一个循环计算出的拾取位姿。此策略允许您在机器人拾取对象时继续处理数据。查看下面的实施示例。该策略假设始终可以估计多个拾取位姿。它还假定当前循环中要拾取的对象在上一个拾取循环中没有移动。确保当前拾取周期中的对象与上一个循环中拾取的对象位于容器的不同区域。这样的对象选择将增加成功拾取的机会。

对于相机是固定安装的拾取和放置应用，我们建议在机器人拾取物体并移动到相机 FOV 之外后再进行捕获。通过该策略，您有可能无需停止机器人即可使用相机捕获图像，具体取决于以下哪个操作需要更长的执行时间：
总捕获时间以及处理数据以检测对象和估计拾取位姿的时间。
机器人从相机FOV外的位姿运动到放置位姿，然后回到再次进入相机FOV之前的位姿的时间。
如果机器人运动的时间更长，则机器人将不必停下来等待。但是，如果前者（捕获+检测+姿态估计）执行时间更长，机器人将不得不停止。查看下面的实施示例。
