Abstract: Performing a “cold start” of a robotic stacking operation is disclosed. In various embodiments, estimated state information representing an estimated state of one or both of a receptacle and one or more objects stacked on or in the receptacle is stored. An indication is received that the estimated state information is not suitable to make a next placement decision with respect to a next object to be stacked on or in the receptacle. Constructed estimated state information is generated at least in part by processing sensor information generated by one or more sensors positioned and configured to generate sensor information providing an at least partial view of one or both of the receptacle and the one or more objects stacked on or in the receptacle.

Abstract: A robotic system is disclosed. The robotic system includes (i) a robotic arm positioned in a known location adjacent to a work zone with respect to which the robotic arm is configured to manipulate one or more items, (ii) one or more sensors each positioned in a corresponding fixed location relative to the work zone, and (iii) one or more processors configured to configure the robotic system to use the robotic arm to manipulate the one or more items, the robotic system being configured based at least in part on sensor data, the sensor data comprising information indicative of a relative position of the robotic arm and one or more other objects in the work zone.

Abstract: A robotic system configured to detect a target feature and place an item at an orientation determined based at least in part on the location of the target feature on the item is disclosed. In various embodiments, sensor data from a sensor in a workspace is received via a communication interface. The sensor data is used to determine the location of a target feature on an item. The determined location is used to generate and implement a plan to use a robotic arm to place the item at a destination location at an orientation determined based at least in part on the determined location of the target feature on the item.

Abstract: A robotic system is disclosed. The system includes a communication interface configured to receive, from one or more sensors deployed in a workspace, sensor data indicative of a current state of the workspace, the workspace comprising a pallet or other receptacle and a plurality of items stacked on or in the receptacle. The system includes one or more processors that use a geometric model based at least in part on past item placements in combination with the sensor data to estimate a state of the pallet or other receptacle and one or more items stacked on or in the pallet or other receptacle, and use the estimated state to generate or update a plan to control a robotic arm to place a next item on or in, or remove a next item from, the pallet or other receptacle in a manner that avoids having the next item collide with any other item stacked on or in the pallet or other receptacle.
