    摘要: A system (100) is disclosed for applying a neural network to an input instance. The neural network comprises an optimization layer for determining values of one or more output neurons from values of one or more input neurons by a joint optimization parametrized by one or more parameters. An input instance is obtained. The values of the one or more input neurons to the optimization layer are obtained and input vectors for the one or more input neurons are determined therefrom. Output vectors for the one or more output neurons are computed from the determined input vectors by jointly optimizing at least the output vectors with respect to the input vectors to solve a semidefinite program defined by the one or more parameters. The values of the one or more output neurons are determined from the respective computed output vectors.

    摘要: Various example embodiments described herein relate to an item manipulation system including a control system and a robotic arm coupled to the control system. The item manipulation system includes an end effector communicatively coupled to the control system and defines a first end and a second end. The first end of the end effector is rotatably engaged to the robotic arm. The item manipulation system also includes a gripper unit attached to the second end of the end effector. The gripper unit is configured to grip the item. The gripper unit includes at least one flexible suction cup and at least one rigid gripper. Each of the flexible suction cup and the at least one rigid gripper engage a surface of the item based on vacuum suction force generated through the at least one flexible suction cup or the at least one rigid gripper.

    摘要: Various example embodiments described herein relate to a flipper table for manipulating an item from a first orientation to a second orientation. The flipper table includes a body rotatable about an axis. The body includes an end configured to be mechanically attached to an actuation unit. In this regard, upon an actuation of the actuation unit, the body is configured to manipulate the item. The body further defines a top surface configured to support the item positioned thereon. The body also defines at least one tab disposed on the flipper table and configured to extend relative to the top surface. Furthermore, the body of the flipper table defines one or more suction cups disposed on the top surface of the body where the one or more suction cups are configured to engage to a surface of the item positioned on the top surface.
