Abstract: An end effector is disclosed. The end effector includes a first set of one or more suction cups of a first size having a first diameter, and a second set of one or more suction cups of a second size having a second diameter that is smaller than the first diameter. The end effector further includes a first actuation mechanism configured to apply suction to at least a subset of the first set of suction cups independently of actuation of the second set of suction cups and a second actuation mechanism configured to apply suction to at least a subset of the second set of suction cups independently of actuation of the first set of suction cups.

Abstract: The present application discloses a robotic stack pusher system, and a method and a computer system for controlling the robotic stack pusher system. The robotic stack pusher system includes an actuation device and a plurality of pusher structures that are substantially planar. At least one of the plurality of pusher structures is nested within one or more other pusher structures of the plurality of pusher structures. The actuation device is the actuation device is operatively coupled to at least one of the plurality of pusher structures. The actuation device is configured to actuate a position of the plurality of pusher structures between a retracted state and an extended state in response to a control signal. Actuation of the actuation device causes the one of the plurality of structures that is nested to extend telescopically with sufficient force and to controllably push a payload

Abstract: A method and system for obtaining an identifier from an item is disclosed. The method includes autonomously operate a robotic structure to move an item along a predetermined path from a source location to a destination location, and autonomously operating the robotic structure to place the item at the destination location based at least in part on the plan. The item comprises one or more identifiers, and in response to a determination that at least one of the one or more identifiers was not obtained by one or more sensors, an active measure is performed to cause the one or more sensors to obtain the at least one identifier that was not obtained. The predetermined path corresponds to a path along which the item is moved from the source location to the destination location. The predetermined path is planned so that the item is moved within a threshold range of the one or more sensors while the item is moved along the predetermined path.

Abstract: The present application discloses a mechanism to adjust backlash in a rack and pinion powertrain assembly. The mechanism to adjust backlash includes a mounting frame having an opening defined therein to receive an operative end of a drive assembly, a shoulder fastener positioned through a first complementary set of holes at a first end of a mounting flange to movably couple the mounting flange to the mounting frame, the fastener being fastened in a manner such that the mounting flange and drive assembly have freedom to pivot about a longitudinal axis of the first complementary set of holes, and an adjustable length coupling device having a first end coupled mechanically to the mounting plate and a second end coupled mechanically to the mounting flange at a location substantially opposite the first end of the mounting flange.

Abstract: Data indicating a corresponding safety state information indicating an extent to which that operating zone currently is or is not available to the robotic system to perform tasks using one or more robotic instrumentalities associated with a robotic system is used, for each of a plurality of operating zones, to dynamically schedule and perform tasks associated with a higher level objective. The corresponding safety state information associated with the first operating zone indicating one of a plurality of safety states associated with a presence of a human worker in the first operating zone is received from one or more sensors associated with a first operating zone of the plurality of operating zones. Autonomous behavior of the one or more robotic instrumentalities is altered based on the one of the plurality of safety states associated with the presence of the human worker in the first operating zone indicated by the corresponding safety state information.
