Abstract: A method of sensing a loaded state of articles in a storage bin and a robot implementing the method are provided. The robot senses a loaded state of articles received in the storage bin in real time or at regular intervals and includes the storage bin and storage bin sensors disposed outside the storage bin. The storage bin sensors are arranged at a non-parallel angle relative to a side surface of the storage bin.
