It is recognized herein that robots or autonomous systems can lose time when computing grasp scores for empty bins. Further, when grasps are attempted on empty bins, for instance due to the related grasp score computations, the robot can lose additional time through being used unnecessarily to attempt the grasp. Such usage can wear on the robot, or damage the robot, in some cases. An autonomous system can classify or determine whether a bin contains an object or is empty, for example, such that a grasp computation is not performed when the bin is empty. In some examples, a system classifies a given bin at runtime before each grasp computation is performed. Thus, systems described herein can avoid performing unnecessary grasp computations, thereby conserving processing time and overheard, among addressing other technical problems.

To protect against the theft of a machine learning module predicting sensor signals, the machine learning module is trained, on the basis of a timeseries of a sensor signal, to predict a later signal value of the sensor signal as first output signal and to output a scatter width of the predicted later signal value as second output signal. The machine learning module is expanded, and the expanded machine learning module is transferred to a user. When an input signal is supplied, a first and a second output signal are derived from the input signal. The checking module then checks whether a later signal value of the input signal lies outside a scatter width indicated by the second output signal by a signal value indicated by the first output signal. An alarm signal is output depending on the check result, if later signal values lie outside the scatter width.
