Pick and place robot system, method, use and sorter system

This robot system picks individual items from a jumbled, continuously moving stream of objects. It uses a 3D camera to identify objects, then a robot with a gripper (made of several parts) adjusts its grip to match the chosen object's shape. The robot picks the object and places it neatly onto a conveyor belt leading to a sorter, or directly onto a sorter. The system also learns to improve its picking accuracy by comparing images of objects before and after they are placed.

Why it matters: Filed before significant advancements in real-time machine learning for complex object recognition and robotic manipulation. Training and deploying robust models for dynamic bulk handling is now easier.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedRobotics, 3D vision, adaptive gripper, machine learning software
