  • Patent number: 12617616
    Abstract: A system includes one or more robot arms configured to pick and/or place items into totes. The system is designed to reduce overall downtime. In the system, if the robot arm is unable to pick and/or place items into the tote, the system routes the tote to a human operator who rearranges the items in the tote in such a way that the robot arm is more likely to be able to pick the items from the tote. The system further includes an artificial intelligence (AI) system that determines whether totes are able to be picked by the robot arm. The AI system further monitors the operation of the robot arms and human operators for training purposes. The data from picking and rearranging operations are used to train the AI system.

  • Publication number: 20250124534
    Abstract: A system includes a camera system configured to capture images of items in a tote. The camera system is configured to interface with an artificial intelligence (AI) system to process images in a variety of ways to support picking and/or placing operations by a robot. Such processing includes planning pick points for items, applying a filter to an image, and planning movement of a robot to perform a picking operation. The camera system further includes an augmented reality tag (ARTag) that is used to calibrate cameras and other devices. The system is configured to train the AI system based on images collected by the camera system wherein the camera system randomly varies the camera settings for each image.

  • Publication number: 20180229067
    Abstract: An exercise device includes an elastic cable, a panel, and a spindle coupled to an interior side of the panel. The spindle has a locked state and an unlocked state, the spindle being rotatable in a first direction to wind the elastic cable and being rotatable in a second direction to unwind both ends of the elastic cable when the spindle is in the unlocked state, and the spindle being non-rotatable when the spindle is in the locked state. A first stirrup is coupled to a first end of the elastic cable, and a second stirrup is coupled to a second end of the elastic cable.
