摘要: Techniques for identifying optimal placement instructions for placing an object within a container by a robotic device are disclosed. An artificial intelligence model may be trained utilizing historical placement images and/or placement data to identify subsequent placement instructions for a robotic device. As an object is brought within a threshold distance of a goal placement location, one or more images may be captured of an area adjacent to the placement location. Features of these images may be provided to the artificial intelligence model as input to cause the artificial intelligence model to identify particular placement instructions for the robotic device. By executing the identified placement instructions, the available space within the storage container may be optimized (e.g., increased) by reducing the space between objects of the storage container in accordance with the placement instructions.

摘要: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for automated custom shipping containers. In one embodiment, an example system may include a depth camera, a first robotic arm configured to grasp objects, a box making machine configured to generate boxes, and a computer system. The computer system may be configured to determine a depth map of a first object and a second object using the depth camera, determine a first dimension of the first object, determine a second dimension of the second object, and determine a first box dimension for a box in which the first object and the second object are to be placed using the first dimension and the second dimension. The computer system may be configured to cause the box making machine to produce the box, and cause the first robotic arm to place the first object and the second object into the box.

摘要: Embodiments herein describe a robotic pick and stow storage system with a built-in consolidation function that increases the storage density. The system can include a stowing robot, a consolidation robot, and individual containers. The stowing robot may pick an item, identify a free space in the container large enough for the item, and then place the item in the free space. The items placed in the container may have a space between it and a neighboring item or items (referred to herein as a stow buffer) due to uncertainties or inaccuracies in the stowing process. The embodiments herein describe a stow and consolidation action that reduces the stow buffers thereby providing additional space in the container for more items. The consolidation robot can tilt and vibrate the container such that the items move closer together thereby generating free space for additional items in the container.

摘要: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for automated robotic sortation. In one embodiment, an example system may include a first robotic arm configured to grasp a moving object from a conveyor while the conveyor is in motion, a camera system configured to image objects moving on the conveyor, and a first scanner configured to scan machine-readable codes on objects moving on the conveyor. The system may be configured to sort objects from the conveyor using the first robotic arm based at least in part on an object destination.
