  • Robotic system architecture and control processes
    Patent number: 11504853
    Abstract: A system includes a first sensor having a fixed location relative to a workspace, a second sensor, at least one robotic manipulator coupled to a manipulation tool, and a control system in communication with the at least one robotic manipulator. The control system is configured to determine a location of a workpiece in the workspace based on first sensor data from the first sensor and a three-dimensional (3D) model corresponding to the workpiece. The control system is configured to map a set of 2D coordinates from a second 2D image from the second sensor to a set of 3D coordinates based on the location, and to generate one or more control signals for the at least one robotic manipulator based on the set of 3D coordinates.
