  • ITEM DE-BINNING SYSTEMS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20250326589
    Abstract: Systems and methods capable of transferring items from a bin are described. A de-binning system includes an item transfer apparatus including a transfer conveyor configured to move a conveyor belt surface, and a bin sub-frame coupled to the transfer conveyor and configured to receive a bin. While an item-containing bin is secured to the bin sub-frame, the bin sub-frame and the transfer conveyor are inverted to transfer the items onto the transfer conveyor, which can move the items onto a second conveyor belt. Various aspects of the present systems and methods prevent damage to the surface of delicate items being transferred.

  • END EFFECTOR FOR PICKING OF ITEMS
    Publication number: 20250243012
    Abstract: An end effector for a picking robot, and a method of use, the end effector comprising: a body; a shaft slidably coupled to the body and extending along a longitudinal axis between a proximal end and a distal end, the shaft having a vacuum lumen extending therethrough along the longitudinal axis; a suction cup coupled to the distal end of the shaft such that an interior volume of the suction cup is in fluid communication with the vacuum lumen; a vacuum generator connected to the vacuum lumen at the proximal end of the shaft and configured to create suction therethrough; and a linear actuator configured to slide the shaft along the longitudinal axis between an extended position in which the suction cup is relatively farther from the body and a retracted position in which the suction cup is relatively closer to the body.
