Abstract: A method for operating a transport robot includes receiving image data representative of a group of objects. One or more target objects are identified in the group based on the received image data. Addressable vacuum regions are selected based on the identified one or more target objects. The transport robot is command to cause the selected addressable vacuum regions to hold and transport the identified one or more target objects. The transport robot includes a multi-gripper assembly having an array of addressable vacuum regions each configured to independently provide a vacuum. A vision sensor device can capture the image data, which is representative of the target objects adjacent to or held by the multi-gripper assembly.

Abstract: Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for preparing a robotic system for surgery. In one aspect, the method includes a robotic arm, a sensor configured to generate information indicative of a location of the robotic arm, a processor, and at least one computer-readable memory in communication with the processor and having stored thereon computer-executable instructions. The instructions are configured to cause the processor to receive the information from the sensor, determine that the robotic arm is located at a first position in which a first axis associated with the robotic arm is not in alignment with a second axis associated with a port installed in a patient, and provide a command to move the robotic arm to a second position in which the first axis associated with the robotic arm is in alignment with the second axis.

Abstract: An adaptive robot grasp planning technique for bin picking. Workpieces in a bin having random positions and poses are to be grasped by a robot and placed in a goal position and pose. The workpiece shape is analyzed to identify a plurality of robust grasp options, each grasp option having a position and orientation. The workpiece shape is also analyzed to determine a plurality of stable intermediate poses. Each individual workpiece in the bin is evaluated to identity a set of feasible grasps, and the workpiece is moved to the goal pose if such direct movement is possible. If direct movement is not possible, a search problem is formulated, where each stable intermediate pose is a node. The search problem is solved by evaluating the feasibility and optimality of each link between nodes. Feasibility of each link is evaluated in terms of collision avoidance constraints and robot joint motion constraints.
