What – pick up and put away in the toy box the items that were not previously in the room

The toys were not in the room before the grandkids pulled them all out. So we either want to classify items as toys, or as things that were not in the room before. Not in the room implies that the robot somehow knows what belongs in the room, possibly by making a survey prior to the children’s arrival. However, toys implies that the robot can classify objects at least as toys and not toys. Let’s stick with that for now. We may have some items in the room that are not toys, but are out of place, and thus don’t belong in the toy box. You can already see these questions shaping what comes later in this process.
