    Abstract: A robotic system configured to detect a target feature and place an item at an orientation determined based at least in part on the location of the target feature on the item is disclosed. In various embodiments, sensor data from a sensor in a workspace is received via a communication interface. The sensor data is used to determine the location of a target feature on an item. The determined location is used to generate and implement a plan to use a robotic arm to place the item at a destination location at an orientation determined based at least in part on the determined location of the target feature on the item.

    Abstract: The present application discloses a robotic stack mover system, and a method and a computer system for controlling the robotic stack mover system. The robotic stack mover system includes a driving unit comprising a motor, a drive chain, a tensioning unit that enforces tension of the drive chain, and a guide rail traversing a distance between the driving unit and the tensioning unit. The motor is operatively coupled to the drive chain, and the motor is configured to drive the drive chain when the motor is driven. The guide rail comprises or supports the drive chain. The driving chain comprises a set of pusher units. The pusher units are respectively configured to engage one or more vehicles inserted to the system, and to cause one or more vehicles to traverse a path having a same direction as a longitudinal direction of the guide rail when the driving chain is driven.

    Abstract: Performing a “cold start” of a robotic stacking operation is disclosed. In various embodiments, estimated state information representing an estimated state of one or both of a receptacle and one or more objects stacked on or in the receptacle is stored. An indication is received that the estimated state information is not suitable to make a next placement decision with respect to a next object to be stacked on or in the receptacle. Constructed estimated state information is generated at least in part by processing sensor information generated by one or more sensors positioned and configured to generate sensor information providing an at least partial view of one or both of the receptacle and the one or more objects stacked on or in the receptacle.

    Abstract: The present application discloses a robotic modular stack mover system, and a method and a computer system for controlling the robotic modular pusher system. The robotic modular stack mover system includes a first stack mover system configured to cause a vehicle to traverse a first path and a second stack mover system configured to cause the vehicle to traverse a second path. The first stack mover system moves the vehicle along the first path from a source location to a first end location. The vehicle is retrieved from the first end location and the second mover system moves the vehicle along the second path to a destination location.
