Abstract: An autonomous labeling system is disclosed that includes a media applicator, a robotic device, and a media replenishment system. The media applicator is configured to apply media to objects. The robotic device is operatively coupled to the media applicator and configured to move the media applicator. The media replenishment system configured to stage a supply of media for installation in the media applicator.

Abstract: A media cartridge includes: a base including: a media chamber having a mouth, and a lower portion of a media outlet; first and second wings configured to support a media spool therebetween; and a cover connected between the first and second wings, and including: an upper portion of the media outlet, and a perimeter configured to engage the mouth of the media chamber, to suspend the first and second wings within the media chamber and place the upper portion of the media outlet adjacent to the lower portion of the media outlet.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that include an electronic device and an activation device. The electronic device includes a battery compartment having a battery storage section and a battery engagement section. The battery engagement section includes battery contacts. The electronic also includes a battery disposed in the battery storage section of the battery compartment. The battery moves from the battery storage section to the battery engagement section in response to an activation event to place the battery in electrical contact with the battery contacts. The activation device includes an activation element configured to generate the activation event.

Abstract: In some implementations, a system may receive, from a camera, an image that depicts an object on a conveyor. The system may cause, based on an image processing model indicating that the image depicts the object, a robotic arm to attach to a label printer. The system may determine, using the image processing model, an object position of the object on the conveyor. The system may cause the robotic arm to move the label printer into an application position that corresponds to the object position on the conveyor. The system may cause the label printer to print a label. The system may cause the label printer to apply the label to the object.
