Robotic tossing of items in inventory system

This invention describes a computer system, or "management module," that directs robots to toss items within a warehouse. It identifies an item's characteristics, determines its destination, and then calculates a precise grasping and throwing strategy for a robotic arm. This strategy includes the item's trajectory to ensure it reaches the target while avoiding collisions with other tossed items.

Why it matters: Since 2018, significant advancements in AI and machine learning for robotic control and computer vision have made complex trajectory planning and real-time object characteristic identification far more robust. These improvements could enable the management module to execute precise tossing strategies with greater reliability and efficiency.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedSoftware logic, robotic integration, trajectory planning
