    Abstract: End effectors for use with a robotic object-gripping system, and related systems and methods, are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the end effector includes a first mounting structure, a force sensor coupled to the first mounting structure, a second mounting structure coupled to the force sensor, and a gripper assembly coupled to the second mounting structure. The force sensor is beneath the longitudinal plane and is configured to measure forces along a vertical axis. The end effector also includes a first bracket coupled to the first mounting structure and a second bracket coupled to the second mounting structure. The first and second brackets are configured to connect to the connection tubes to isolate the connection tubes, and any forces therein, to a longitudinal direction between the first bracket and the second bracket, thereby reducing the noise on the force sensor from the connection tubes during operation.

    Abstract: A method and computing system for performing the method are presented. The method may include receiving image information representing an object; identifying a set of one or more matching object recognition templates associated with a set of one or more detection hypotheses. The method may further include selecting a primary detection hypothesis associated with a matching object recognition template; generating a primary candidate region based on the matching object recognition template; determining at least one of: (i) whether the set of one or more matching object recognition templates has a subset of one or more remaining matching templates, or (ii) whether the image information has a portion representing an unmatched region; and generating a safety volume list based on at least one of: (i) the unmatched region, or (ii) one or more additional candidate regions that are generated based on the subset of one or more remaining matching templates.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a control method of a robotic system. The control method includes: deriving an approach location at which the end effector grips an operation object; deriving a scan location for scanning an identifier of the operation object; and based on the approach location and the scan location, creating or deriving a control sequence to instruct the robot to execute the control sequence. The control sequence includes (1) gripping the operation object from a start location; (2) scanning an identifier of the operation object with a scanner located between the start location and a task location; (3) temporarily releasing the operation object from the end effector and regripping the operation object by the end effector to be shifted, at a shift location, when a predetermined condition is satisfied; and (4) moving the operation object to the task location.
