Abstract: In general, various embodiments of the present disclosure provide systems, methods, apparatuses, technologies, and/or the like for loading, storing, and/or dispensing objects in an automated and/or semi-automated fashion. For example, various embodiments provide a storage system comprising: a frame comprising a shelf; a plurality of doors attached to the frame along a dispensing side, wherein each door can be opened and closed independently through operation of a corresponding release mechanism; a plurality of dividers adjustable to different positions along a length of the shelf to thereby define storage compartments that vary in size along the length of the shelf for storing objects of different sizes; and a controller that, for each storage compartment, is configured to cause operation of the corresponding release mechanism for a series of the plurality of doors corresponding to a dimension of the storage compartment in unison to release an object stored in the storage compartment.
