A control system and method locates a partially or fully occluded target object in an area of interest. The location of the occluded object may be determined using visual information from a vision sensor and RF-based location information. Determining the location of the target object in this manner may effectively allow the control system to “see through” obstructions that are occluding the object. Model-based and/or deep-learning techniques may then be employed to move a robot into range relative to the target object to perform a predetermined (e.g., grasping) operation. This operation may be performed while the object is still in the occluded state or after a decluttering operation has been performed to remove one or more obstructions that are occluding light-of-sight vision to the object.
