  • Logistic device
    Patent number: 11926061
    Abstract: Logistic device, for handling a package being collected that defines a contact surface with items not being collected, including a first robotic arm including adaptive gripper having at least three degrees of freedom to modify adaptive gripper position and spatial orientation; a second robotic arm including an end effector defining a resting surface and three degrees of freedom to modify end effector position and spatial orientation; control unit to command the first robotic arm to contact the adaptive gripper and package, to deform the adaptive gripper according to adhesion surface between the package and move the package from a storage position wherein the contact surface contacts the items and a collection position wherein the contact surface does not contact the items; the second robotic arm bringing the end effector resting surface into contact with the contact surface; and then the second robotic arm to move the package.
