This study aims to optimize the object identification process, especially identifying trash in the house compound. Most object identification methods cannot distinguish whether the object is a real image (3D) or a photographic image on paper (2D). This is a problem if the detected object is moved from one place to another. If the object is 2D, the robot gripper only clamps empty objects. In this study, the Sequential_Camera_LiDAR (SCL) method is proposed. This method combines a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging), with an accuracy of ±2 mm. After testing 11 types of trash on four CNN architectures (AlexNet, VGG16, GoogleNet, and ResNet18), the accuracy results are 80.5%, 95.6%, 98.3%, and 97.5%. This result is perfect for object identification. However, it needs to be optimized using a LiDAR sensor to determine the object in 3D or 2D. Trash will be ignored if the fast scanning process with the LiDAR sensor detects non-real (2D) trash. If Real (3D), the trash object will be scanned in detail to determine the robot gripper position in lifting the trash object. The time efficiency generated by fast scanning is between 13.33% to 59.26% depending on the object's size. The larger the object, the greater the time efficiency. In conclusion, optimization using the combination of a CNN and a LiDAR sensor can identify trash objects correctly and determine whether the object is real (3D) or not (2D), so a decision may be made to move the trash object from the detection location.
