摘要： Methods, apparatuses, systems, computing devices, and/or the like are provided. An example method may include determining a height value associated with a highest object on a pallet; causing a light detection and ranging (LiDAR) sensor to travel to a height based at least in part on the height value; determining whether a detection signal from the LiDAR sensor indicates a first clear status; in response to determining that the detection signal indicates the first clear status, causing a robotic arm to lift the object until the detection signal indicates a blocked status and then a second clear status.

摘要： Various embodiments described herein relate to techniques for object height detection for palletizing operations and/or depalletizing operations. In this regard, an automated industrial system comprises at least a column portion, a robot arm portion, and an end effector configured to grasp an object. An image-capturing device is mounted onto the automated industrial system and is configured to rotate, based on movement of the robot arm portion, to scan the object grasped by the end effector and to generate image-capturing data associated with the object. Furthermore, a processing device is configured to determine height data for the object based on the image-capturing data. The processing device is also configured to determine location data for the object with respect to a conveyor system based on the height data.
