Bin-picking is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, yet achieving complete bin clearance without manual intervention remains a critical challenge. While model-based methods provide high precision, they frequently suffer from deadlocks when predefined grasps are occluded or perception fails. Labor-intensive fine-tuning of grasp points is commonly required to reach a satisfactory performance for new parts. Model-free algorithms offer a more flexible alternative with "out-of-the-box" versatility but lack the reliability and repeatability required for production. Unlike existing work, which treats the two techniques in isolation, we propose a fourtiered hierarchical hybrid approach to combine the best of both worlds. A model-based pipeline serves as a robust backbone, while a model-free "exploration agent" resolves deadlock situations and discovers new grasp points. This is supported by an online self-learning mechanism that uses gripper-stroke feedback and Wilson score intervals to autonomously rank grasp candidates, reducing manual commissioning effort. Validation on three automotive parts demonstrates that our method significantly outperforms a model-free baseline in grasp success rate while improving the bin clearance rate of the model-based baseline from 50.9% to 100% across all experiments. This transition to full bin clearance marks a significant step towards truly autonomous, intervention-free industrial operation.
