Abstract: Vision systems for robotic assemblies for handling cargo, for example, unloading cargo from a trailer, can determine the position of cargo based on shading topography. Shading topography imaging can be performed by using light sources arranged at different positions relative to the image capture device(s).

Abstract: A drinking utensil having a longitudinal axis has an elongate body having a first end and an opposing second end spaced from the first end along the longitudinal axis. The elongate body defines a lumen therethrough from the first end to the second end. A filter body can be coupled to the first end of the elongate body. The filter body has a housing defining at least one side opening and a top opening that is in communication with the lumen of the elongate body. The filter body has a filter (e.g., a mesh filter) extending across and covering the at least one side opening of the housing.
