  • Patent number: 10821603
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for robot control. An example apparatus includes a command generator to instruct a robot to move an end effector from a staging position to an estimated pre-task position to perform a first task based on a first pose of the robot, the first pose based on a model, adjust the robot to a first actual pre-task position to perform the first task when the robot is to move to a second actual pre-task position, the first actual pre-task position proximate the estimated pre-task position, and direct the robot to perform a second task based on a correction factor, the correction factor is to be determined by determining a second pose of the robot, the second pose corresponding to position information associated with a post-task position, and calculating the correction factor based on the first pose and the second pose.
