Systems, methods and associated components for robotic manipulation of physical objects

This invention describes a system where a robot can pick up various objects, even if they are different sizes or shapes. The trick is that all these objects have an identical, specially designed gripping feature – a specific type of internal cavity like a tube or cone. The robot's gripper is designed to fit precisely into this standard cavity, allowing it to reliably grab and move any of these objects.

Why it matters: Since 2020, advancements in AI-driven computer vision and robotic control software have significantly improved the robustness and accessibility of detecting specific object features and planning precise robotic movements. This could simplify the implementation of the required optics system and complex motion planning.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom objects, specialized gripper, vision, complex software.
