Abstract: A robotic line kitting system is disclosed. Data indicating for each of a plurality of operating zones comprising a workspace with which the robotic line kitting system is associated a corresponding safety state information is stored. The data is used to dynamically schedule and perform tasks associated with a higher level objective, including by operating the one or more robotic instrumentalities in one or more operating zones, if any, indicated by the data to currently be available to perform tasks using the one or more robotic instrumentalities and by not operating the one or more robotic instrumentalities in one or more operating zones, if any, indicated by the data to not currently be available to perform tasks using the one or more robotic instrumentalities.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to perform robotic handling of soft products in non-rigid packaging. In various embodiments, sensor data associated with a workspace is received. An action to be performed in the workspace using one or more robotic elements is determined, the action including moving an end effector of one of the robotic elements relatively quickly to a location in proximity to an item to be grasped; actuating a grasping mechanism of the end effector to grasp the item using an amount of force and structures associated with minimized risk of damage to one or both of the item and its packaging; and using sensor data generated subsequent to the item being grasped to ensure the item has been grasped securely. Control communications are sent to the robotic element via the communication interface to cause robotic element to perform the action.

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 robotic system is disclosed. The system includes a communication interface that receives, from a sensor(s) deployed in a workspace, sensor data indicative of a current state of the workspace, the workspace comprising a pallet or other receptacle and a plurality of items stacked on or in the receptacle. The system includes one or more processors that control a robotic arm to place a first set of items on or in, or remove the first set of items from, the pallet or other receptacle, update a geometric model based on the first set of items placed on or in a receptacle, use the geometric model in combination with the sensor data to estimate a stack of one or more items on or in the receptacle, and use the estimated state to generate or update a plan to control the robotic arm to place a second set of items.

Abstract: A robotic system is disclosed. The system includes a memory that stores a machine learning-based model to provide a scoring function value for a candidate item placement on a pallet on which are plurality of items are to be stacked given a current state value of the pallet and a set of zero or more items placed previously. The system includes one or more processors that use the model to determine a corresponding score for each of a plurality of candidate placements for a next item to be placed and the current state value associated with the current state of the pallet and a set of zero or more items placed previously, select a selected placement based at least in part on the respective scores, control a robotic arm to place the next item according to the selected placement.

Abstract: A robotic system is disclosed. The system includes a communication interface that receives, from one or more sensors deployed in a workspace, sensor data indicative of a current state of the workspace. The system includes one or more processors that use the sensor data to estimate a state of one or both of the pallet or other receptacle and the set of zero or more items stacked on or in the receptacle, and use the estimated state to generate or update a plan to control a robotic arm to place a next set of items on or in, or remove the next set of items from, the pallet or other receptacle, the plan comprising an ordered sequence of item placements or removals. The plan is generated or updated based at least in part by performing a bounded tree search in which a subset of possible ordered sequences is explored.

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.
