    Abstract: A method for operating a robotic system that includes calculating a base motion plan, wherein the base motion plan includes a sequence of commands or settings, or a combination thereof, that operates a robotic arm and a gripper to transfer a target object from a start location to a task location; receiving a contact measure while executing the base motion plan, wherein the contact measure represents an amount of grip of the gripper on the target object; and generating one or more actuator commands/settings that deviate from the base motion plan when the contact measure fails to satisfy a threshold, wherein the one or more actuator commands/settings thereof are configured to operate the robotic arm, the gripper, or a combination thereof to execute one or more response actions not included in the base motion plan.

    Abstract: A robot control system and a method for camera calibration verification is presented. The robot control system is configured to perform a first camera calibration, and to control a robot arm to move a verification symbol to a reference location. The robot control system further receives, from a camera, a reference image of the verification symbol, and determines a reference image coordinate for the verification symbol. The robot control system further controls the robot arm to move the verification symbol to the reference location again during an idle period, receives an additional image of the verification symbol, and determines a verification image coordinate. The robot control system determines a deviation parameter value based the reference image coordinate and the verification image coordinate, and whether the deviation parameter value exceeds a defined threshold, and performs a second camera calibration if the threshold is exceeded.

    Abstract: A robot control system and a method for automatic camera calibration is presented. The robot control system includes a control circuit configured to determine all corner locations of an imaginary cube that fits within a camera field of view, and determine a plurality of locations that are distributed on or throughout the imaginary cube. The control circuit is further configured to control a robot arm to move a calibration pattern to the plurality of locations, and to receive a plurality of calibration images corresponding to the plurality of locations, and to determine respective estimates of intrinsic camera parameters based on the plurality of calibration images, and to determine an estimate of a transformation function that describes a relationship between a camera coordinate system and a world coordinate system. The control circuit is further configured to control placement of the robot arm based on the estimate of the transformation function.

    Abstract: A method for operating a robotic system including determining an initial pose of a target object based on imaging data; calculating a confidence measure associated with an accuracy of the initial pose; and determining that the confidence measure fails to satisfy a sufficiency condition; and deriving a motion plan accordingly for scanning an object identifier while transferring the target object from a start location to a task location.
