Robotic multi-item type palletizing and depalletizing

This invention describes a robotic system designed to neatly stack or unstack various items, like boxes or products, into a container such as a pallet or box. The robot first receives information about all the items, then figures out the best way to arrange them. It then uses its arm to pick up each item, moving it close to its intended spot with one set of sensors, and then precisely pushing it into its final, snug position with another set of sensors.

Why it matters: Filed in 2023, this patent's focus on adaptive planning and precise sensor-guided manipulation for diverse items benefits from recent advancements in AI-driven computer vision and reinforcement learning for robotic control, making such complex tasks more robust and efficient today.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
