Abstract: A robotic system to control multiple robots to perform a task cooperatively is disclosed. A first robot determines to perform a task cooperatively with a second robot, moves independently to a first grasp position to grasp an object associated with the task, receives an indication that the second robot is prepared to perform the task cooperatively, and moves the object independently of the second robot in a leader mode along a trajectory determined by the first robot. The second robot assists the first robot in performing the task cooperatively, at least in part by moving independently to a second grasp position, grasping the object, and cooperating with the first robot to move the object, at least in part by operating in a follower mode of operation to maintain engagement with the object as the first robot moves the object along the trajectory.

Abstract: The present application discloses a system, a method, and a computer system for detecting objects that require special handling. The method includes (i) receiving image data from one or more cameras associated with a source conveyor configured to convey items to a pick location, (ii) determining, based at least in part on the image data, that an item requiring special handling has entered the source conveyor, and (iii) providing an output indicating that the item requiring special handling has been detected.

Abstract: A robotic system is disclosed which includes a robotic arm having n degrees of freedom, the robotic arm comprising a base and a set of serially connected links and joints connected to the base; an enabler joint assembly comprising a mounting location at which the base of the robotic arm is mounted and having a rotational axis, offset from the mounting location, about which the enabler joint assembly is configured to rotate the mounting location; and a processor configured to control a first set of motors associated with the n degrees of freedom of the robotic arm and an enabler joint motor comprising the enabler joint assembly to control operation of the robotic arm within an extended operating space defined at least in part by the n degrees of freedom of the robotic arm and an (n+1)th degree of freedom provided by the enabler joint assembly.

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. A grasp strategy is determined for each of at least a subset of items, and for each grasp strategy a corresponding probability of grasp success is computed. The grasp strategies and corresponding probabilities of grasp success are 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: 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.

CPC classification number: B65G47/905 , B25J9/1697
Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to use a robotic arm to palletize or depalletize diverse items. In various embodiments, data associated with a plurality of items to be stacked on or in a destination location is received. A plan to stack the items on or in the destination location is generated based at least in part on the received data. The plan is implemented at least in part by controlling a robotic arm of the robot to pick up the items and stack them on or in the receptacle according to the plan, including by for each item: using one or more first order sensors to move the item to a first approximation of a destination position for that item at the destination location; and using one or more second order sensors to snug the item into a final position.
