Publication number: 20240091949Abstract: A robotic singulation system is disclosed. In various embodiments, sensor data including image data associated with a workspace is received. The sensor data is used to generate a three dimensional view of at least a portion of the workspace, the three dimensional view including boundaries of a plurality of items present in the workspace. A grasp strategy is determined for each of at least a subset of items, and for each grasp strategy a corresponding probability of grasp success is computed. The grasp strategies and corresponding probabilities of grasp success are used to determine and implement a plan to autonomously operate a robotic structure to pick one or more items from the workplace and place each item singly in a corresponding location in a singulation conveyance structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 25, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Zhouwen Sun, Kevin Jose Chavez, Samir Menon, Harry Zhe Su, Talbot Morris-Downing, Rohit Arka Pidaparthi, Ayush Sharma, Raphael Georg Wirth

Publication number: 20240001559Abstract: A robotic singulation system is disclosed. In various embodiments, sensor data including image data associated with a workspace is received. The sensor data is used to generate a three dimensional view of at least a portion of the workspace, the three dimensional view including boundaries of a plurality of items present in the workspace. The three dimensional view as generated at successive points in time is used to model a flow of at least a subset of said plurality of items through at least a portion of the workspace. The model is used to determine and implement a plan to autonomously operate a robotic structure to pick one or more items from the workplace and place each item singly in a corresponding location in a singulation conveyance structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 20, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Zhouwen Sun, Kevin Jose Chavez, Samir Menon, Harry Zhe Su, Talbot Morris-Downing, Rohit Arka Pidaparthi, Ayush Sharma, Raphael Georg Wirth

Publication number: 20220315358Abstract: A robotic system comprising an end effector-mounted sensor is disclosed. In various embodiments, a robotic arm is manipulated to move a sensor to a position such that an object of interest is within a read range of the sensor. A sensor data read by the sensor is received via a communication interface. The sensor data is used to determine an attribute of the object; and the determined attribute of the object is used to determine a plan to grasp and move the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 16, 2022Publication date: October 6, 2022Inventors: Timothy Ryan, Zhouwen Sun, Harry Zhe Su, Talbot Morris-Downing, David Leo Tondreau, III, Toby Leonard Baker, Ayush Sharma, Raphael Georg Wirth

Publication number: 20220289501Abstract: A robotic singulation system is disclosed. In various embodiments, sensor data image data associated with a plurality of items present in a workspace is received. The sensor data is used to determine and implement a plan to autonomously operate a robotic structure to pick one or more items from the workspace and place each item singly in a corresponding location in a singulation conveyance structure. The plan includes performing an active measure to change or adapt to a detected state or condition associated with one or more items in the workspace.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2021Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Zhouwen Sun, Harry Zhe Su, Talbot Morris-Downing, David Leo Tondreau, III, Toby Leonard Baker, Timothy Ryan, Ayush Sharma, Raphael Georg Wirth, Cyril Nader

Publication number: 20220289502Abstract: A robotic singulation system is disclosed. In various embodiments, sensor data including data associated with an item present in a workspace is received. The sensor data is used to determine and implement a plan to autonomously operate a robotic structure to move and place the item singly in a corresponding location in a singulation conveyance structure. The plan takes into consideration an attribute of the item determined based at least in part on the sensor data.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 15, 2021Publication date: September 15, 2022Inventors: Zhouwen Sun, Harry Zhe Su, Talbot Morris-Downing, David Leo Tondreau, III, Toby Leonard Baker, Timothy Ryan, Ayush Sharma, Raphael Georg Wirth, Cyril Nader
