Filed:

Dec 27, 2016

Appl. No.:

15/391692

Inventors:

- Seattle WA, US
Matthew David Verminski - North Andover MA, US
Andrew Stubbs - Waltham MA, US
Ennio Claretti - Somerville MA, US
Boris Aronchik - Brighton MA, US
John Gregory Longtine - Sudbury MA, US

International Classification:

B25J 9/16
G06Q 10/08
B65G 1/10
B25J 9/00
B65G 1/04

Abstract:

Robotic arms or manipulators can be utilized to grasp inventory items within an inventory system. Information can be obtained about constraints relative to relevant elements of a process of transferring the item from place to place. Examples of such elements may include a grasping location from which an item is to be grasped, a receiving location in which a grasped item is to be placed, or a space between the grasping location and the receiving location. The information about the constraints can be used to select from multiple possible grasping options, such as by eliminating options that conflict with the constraints or preferring options that outperform others given the constraints.

International Classification:

B25J 9/16
B65G 1/137

Abstract:

Robotic arms may be utilized to grasp inventory items within an inventory system.

International Classification:

B25J 9/16
B25J 9/00

Abstract:

Robotic arms or manipulators can be utilized to grasp inventory items within an inventory system. Information about an item to be grasped can be detected and/or accessed from one or more databases to determine a grasping strategy for grasping the item with a robotic arm or manipulator. For example, one or more accessed databases can contain information about the item, characteristics of the item, and/or similar items, such as information indicating grasping strategies that have been successful or unsuccessful for such items in the past.
