摘要: Pick quality determination is disclosed, including: using a pressure meter to sense a pressure associated with an airflow through a gripper mechanism of a diverting mechanism over time during a pick operation on a target object; storing the sensed pressure associated with the airflow through the gripper mechanism over time as a pressure sequence associated with the pick operation on the target object; and correlating the pressure sequence with representative pressure sequences associated with corresponding pick quality types to determine whether the pick operation on the target object was successful or not.
