Surveillance system and methods for automated warehouses

This invention describes a warehouse surveillance system that uses a camera to watch products as they are moved. A computer program analyzes these images to figure out the best route for each product within the warehouse. The system can also decide if a human needs to step in to handle a product, and if so, it might allow a human to control a robot remotely.

Why it matters: Filed just before the rapid advancements in real-time computer vision and reinforcement learning for robotics became more mature and accessible. These improvements could make the system's core functions of accurate path determination and intelligent human intervention decisions much more feasible and efficient today.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active.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