Abstract: A robot configured to use a gripper to grasp one or more tools is disclosed. In various embodiments, the robot comprises a robotic arm having a gripper disposed at a free moving end of the robotic arm, and a set of two or more tools configured to grasped or otherwise engaged by the gripper. Each tool in the set of two or more tools may be disposed in a corresponding tool holder, optionally attached to the robot or situated near the robot. The robot is configured to use the gripper to retrieve a selected tool from its tool holder to perform a task; use the tool to perform the task; and return the tool to its tool holder.

Abstract: An autonomous robot with on demand human intervention is disclosed. In various embodiments, a robot operates in an autonomous mode of operation in which the robot performs one or more tasks autonomously without human intervention. The robot determines that a strategy is not available to perform a next task autonomously. In response to the determination, the robot enters a human intervention mode of operation.

Abstract: A robotic kitting machine is disclosed. In various embodiments, a robotic arm is used to move an item to a location in proximity to a slot into which the item is to be inserted. Force information generated by a force sensor is received via a communication interface. The force sensor information is used to align a structure comprising the item with a corresponding cavity comprising the slot, and the item is inserted into the slot.

Abstract: A multicamera image processing system is disclosed. In various embodiments, image data is received from each of a plurality of sensors associated with a workspace, the image data comprising for each sensor in the plurality of sensors one or both of visual image information and depth information. Image data from the plurality of sensors is merged to generate a merged point cloud data. Segmentation is performed based on visual image data from at least a subset of the sensors in the plurality of sensors to generate a segmentation result. One or both of the merged point cloud data and the segmentation result is/are used to generate a merged three dimensional and segmented view of the workspace.

Abstract: A velocity control-based robotic system is disclosed. In various embodiments, sensor data is received from one or more sensors deployed in a physical space in which a robot is located. A processor is used to determine based at least in part on the sensor data an at least partly velocity-based trajectory along which to move an element comprising the robot. A command to implement the velocity-based trajectory is sent to the robot.

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 robot is operated in an autonomous mode of operation to perform a plurality of tasks. It is determined that a later task of the plurality of tasks needs human assistance while performing a current task of the plurality of tasks. The human assistance is scheduled for the later task. A teleoperator is communicated with to perform the human assistance associated with the later task.

Abstract: A robotic system includes a robotic arm that includes a first joint that connects a first segment to a second segment, the first segment being connected at an end of the first segment opposite the first joint to a shoulder joint of the robotic arm and the second segment being connected at an end of the second segment opposite the first joint to an elbow joint of the robotic arm; and a processor coupled to the robotic arm and configured to receive an end effector trajectory and determine a motion plan to move the end effector through the end effector trajectory, including by using the first joint to vary the distance between the shoulder joint and the elbow joint, as and if needed, to realize the end effector trajectory while using the joints and links other than the first joint in a preferred pose.

Abstract: A value associated with a plurality of measurement objects that are embedded in a material associated with an intermediate layer of a plurality of layers associated with a tactile sensing unit is sensed. The value associated with the plurality of measurement objects is sensed by a sensor that is included a layer below the intermediate layer of the tactile sensing unit. An output of the sensor is used to make a determination associated with engagement of a robotic arm end effector with an item.
