Abstract: A control server controls a dual-arm robotic manipulator (DARM) for handling deformable objects in a stack. The control server receives a set of images of the stack captured by a set of image sensors, and determines a contour of the stack based the set of images. Based on the contour and historical data associated with the deformable objects in the stack, the control server determines a sequence of actions to be performed by the DARM for handling a first deformable object in the stack, and controls the DARM to handle the first deformable object by communicating a set of commands corresponding to each action in sequence of actions. The first deformable object is handled such that original form factors of the first deformable object and the remaining stack are maintained.

Abstract: A identification and planning system includes a scanner assembly, a robotic manipulator, and control server. The control server detects a first plurality of inventory items in a first inventory storage system and determines a first set of position parameters for a first inventory item from the detected first plurality of inventory items, with respect to a position of one or more image sensors in the scanner assembly. The control server generates a plurality of pick-path plans for the first inventory item, where each pick-path plan corresponds to a transformation of the determined first set of position parameters to a second set of position parameters with respect to the robotic manipulator. The control server further selects a first pick-path plan from the plurality of pick-path plans and controls the robotic manipulator to pick the first inventory item from the first inventory storage system, based on the first pick-path plan.
