Abstract: A processing system for processing objects using a programmable motion device is disclosed. The processing system a perception unit for perceiving identifying indicia representative of an identity of an object associated with an input conveyance system, and an acquisition system for acquiring the object from a plurality of objects at an input area using an end effector of the programmable motion device, wherein the programmable motion device is adapted for assisting in the delivery of the object to an identified processing location. The identified processing location being associated with the identifying indicia and said identified processing location being provided as one of a plurality of processing locations. The processing system also includes a delivery system for receiving the object in a carrier and for delivering the object toward the identified processing location.

Abstract: An object induction system is disclosed for assigning handling parameters to an object. The system includes an analysis system, an association system, and an assignment system. The analysis system includes at least one characteristic perception system for providing perception data regarding an object to be processed. The association system includes an object information database and assigns association data to the object responsive to commonality with of any of the characteristic perception data with any of the characteristic recorded data. The assignment system is for assigning programmable motion device handling parameters to the indicia perception data based on the association data, and includes a workflow management system as well as a separate operational controller.
