Hi @wagenaartje, I'm pretty sure that the near plane of the depth camera is responsible for that behaviour. With Pepper's depth camera (on Pepper < 1.8), the minimum detection distance is 40cm.
So if an object is less than 40cm away from the camera, it won't be detected. In the code, we mimic that behaviour by setting the near plane of the virtual depth camera (depth camera definition, instantiation in pepper_virtual)
If you want to set a custom near plane, you could either:
near_plane
variable of the depth camera object
I'm not sure if this is intended behaviour, but the depth camera does not see the robot's hands for instance.
