Abstract: An operator inducted object processing system is disclosed that includes an object induction station at which objects are provided for processing, said object induction station including at least one perception unit for providing perception data regarding an object, an object processing system for receiving objects from the object induction station, said object processing system including a carrier configured for movement in a first generally horizontal direction between two mutually opposing arrays of destination locations, each of which extends along the first generally horizontal direction, and the carrier also being configured for movement in a second generally vertical direction between the two mutually opposing arrays of destination locations, each of which also extends along the second generally vertical direction, wherein the movement in the first generally horizontal direction is independent of the movement in the second generally vertical direction, and wherein the carrier is further configured for movement in mutually opposing third directions that are generally orthogonal to the first and second directions, for urging an object thereon into a first end of an adjacent selected destination location, each of the destination locations including a first end that is accessible by the carrier, and a plurality of object collection stations, each of which is associated with a second end of each of the destination locations.
