    Abstract: A vision system and control system for a robotic pack station is disclosed. Robotic pack stations typically include a work cell, which enables the transfer of items from a tote or a bin to a container. The work cell may include one or more of the following: a robotic arm, a vision system, a control system, a conveyor, and a pack platform. The vision system and control system of the present invention identify items and provide instructions to the robotic arm to pick and/or place items in a bin or a tote.

    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may maintain an first dataset configured to select pick points for objects. The apparatus may receive, from a user device, a user dataset including a user selected pick point associated with at least one object and a first image of the at least one first object. The apparatus may generate a second dataset based at least in part on the first dataset and the user dataset. The apparatus may receive a second image of a second object. The apparatus may select a pick point for the second object using the second dataset and the second image of the second object. The apparatus may send information associated with the pick point selected for the second object to a robotics device for picking up the second object.

    Abstract: In an aspect of the disclosure, a method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may generate a binary intermediate mask model from 2D image data and 3D data obtained from a background image and a component image. Because the intermediate mask model is binary, erosion and dilation (e.g., 2D data processing) may be used to remove noise from the intermediate mask model. The augmented intermediate mask model with any erroneous and/or missing data corrected, may be applied to the second aligned model. The pixels in the second aligned model that correspond to pixels in the augmented intermediate mask model that are assigned a value of 1 may be identified as foreground pixels. Then, the vision system may generate foreground object data using the 2D image data and the 3D data in the foreground pixels from the second aligned model.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is for systems and methods for providing observational support. The invention comprises an observational support system which generally operates as a supplemental system to an existing automated decision support system, such as a primary vision system for robotic picking operations. The observational support system provides an auxiliary sensor module which is operable to obtain data associated with a pick scene independently of the primary vision system and provide the data to an intervention system for further review and processing. The observational support system is generally called upon in situations where the primary vision system fails or encounters circumstances it cannot handle in a timely manner. The observational support system in combination with the intervention system provides supplemental assistance in these circumstances so that robotic picking operations can continue more readily.
