Abstract: A plurality of sensors are configured to provide a corresponding output that reflects a sensed value associated with engagement of a robotic arm end effector with an item. The respective outputs of one or more sensors comprising the plurality of sensors are used to determine one or more inputs to a multi-modal model configured to provide, based at least in part on the one or more inputs, an output associated with slippage of the item within or from a grasp of the robotic arm end effector. A determination associated with slippage of the item within or from the grasp of the robotic arm end effector is made based at least in part on an output of the multi-modal model. A responsive action is taken based at least in part on the determination associated with slippage of the item within or from the grasp of the robotic arm end effector.

Abstract: A robotic system comprising an end effector-mounted sensor is disclosed. In various embodiments, a robotic arm is manipulated to move a sensor to a position such that an object of interest is within a read range of the sensor. A sensor data read by the sensor is received via a communication interface. The sensor data is used to determine an attribute of the object; and the determined attribute of the object is used to determine a plan to grasp and move the object.

Abstract: A robotic system to control multiple robots to perform a task cooperatively is disclosed. A first robot determines to perform a task cooperatively with a second robot, moves independently to a first grasp position to grasp an object associated with the task, receives an indication that the second robot is prepared to perform the task cooperatively, and moves the object independently of the second robot in a leader mode along a trajectory determined by the first robot. The second robot assists the first robot in performing the task cooperatively, at least in part by moving independently to a second grasp position, grasping the object, and cooperating with the first robot to move the object, at least in part by operating in a follower mode of operation to maintain engagement with the object as the first robot moves the object along the trajectory.

Abstract: A set of one or more potentially graspable features for one or more objects present in a workspace area are determined based on visual data received from a plurality of cameras. For each of at least a subset of the one or more potentially graspable features one or more corresponding grasp strategies are determined to grasp the feature with a robotic arm and end effector. A score associated with a probability of a successful grasp of a corresponding feature is determined with respect to each of a least a subset of said grasp strategies. A first feature of the one or more potentially graspable features is selected to be grasped using a selected grasp strategy based at least in part on a corresponding score associated with the selected grasp strategy with respect to the first feature. The robotic arm and the end effector are controlled to attempt to grasp the first feature using the selected grasp strategy.

Abstract: The present application discloses a system, a method, and a computer system for detecting objects that require special handling. The method includes (i) receiving image data from one or more cameras associated with a source conveyor configured to convey items to a pick location, (ii) determining, based at least in part on the image data, that an item requiring special handling has entered the source conveyor, and (iii) providing an output indicating that the item requiring special handling has been detected.

Abstract: A robotic singulation system is disclosed. In various embodiments, sensor data including image data associated with a workspace is received. The sensor data is used to generate a three dimensional view of at least a portion of the workspace, the three dimensional view including boundaries of a plurality of items present in the workspace. The three dimensional view as generated at successive points in time is used to model a flow of at least a subset of said plurality of items through at least a portion of the workspace. The model is used to determine and implement a plan to autonomously operate a robotic structure to pick one or more items from the workplace and place each item singly in a corresponding location in a singulation conveyance structure.

Abstract: A plurality of sensors are configured to provide respective outputs that reflect a sensed value associated with engagement of a robotic arm end effector with an item. The respective outputs of the plurality of sensors are used to make a determination associated with engagement of a robotic arm end effector with an item. A first value measured by a first sensor is used to determine a first input associated with a first factor. A second value measured by a second sensor is used to determine a second input associated with a second factor. The first input and the second input are provided to a multi-factor model configured to provide, based at least in part on the first input and the second input, an output associated with engagement of the robotic arm end effector with the item. The output of the multi-factor model is used to make the determination associated with engagement of the robotic arm end effector with the item.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to use a robotic arm to palletize or depalletize diverse items. In various embodiments, data associated with a plurality of items to be stacked on or in a destination location is received. A plan to stack the items on or in the destination location is generated based at least in part on the received data. The plan is implemented at least in part by controlling a robotic arm of the robot to pick up the items and stack them on or in the receptacle according to the plan, including by for each item: using one or more first order sensors to move the item to a first approximation of a destination position for that item at the destination location; and using one or more second order sensors to snug the item into a final position.
