Abstract: A robot is operated in an autonomous mode of operation in which the robot autonomously selects a strategy to pick up an item. The item is moved from an initial location to a destination location using the selected strategy. It is determined whether one or more strategies are available to pick up the item in response to the item being dropped while the item is being moved from the initial location to the destination location. It is determined that a further strategy is not available to pick up the item. In response to the determination that the further strategy is not available, a human intervention mode of operation is entered.

Abstract: A kitting machine is disclosed. In various embodiments, the machine includes an actuator configured to move a surface or receptacle to a position associated with item retrieval; and a controller configured to control operation of the actuator to position an item in the position associated with item retrieval, in a manner that is synchronized at least in part with operation of a robotic retrieval device configured to retrieve the item from the position associated with item retrieval.

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.
