  • Systems and Methods for Robotic Package Handling with Multiple Sensors
    Publication number: 20260241567
    Abstract: Improved systems and methods for package handling, for example, in a warehouse logistics robot, include combining data from multiple types of sensors to eliminate uncertainty relating to a grasp point, employing one or more first sensors to perceive an overall workspace and one or more second sensors in a directed fashion to perceive a subset of the workspace with which a robot is about to interact, and picking packages by attempting to reach and grasp a point that is within the bounds of the package rather than on the surface.
