Publication number: 20220088800Abstract: A hybrid gripper that is used as end effector of a robotic manipulator for handling objects that are arranged in top, middle, and bottom shelves of a storage unit. The hybrid gripper may include first and second end effectors, where the first end effector is pivotally coupled to the second end effector. The first end effector includes a first longitudinal support member and an axle member that telescopically moves in and out of the first longitudinal support member. The axle member is attached to a gripper assembly that houses first and second suction cups to grip and pick the objects. The second end effector includes a second longitudinal support member and a spatula that is rotatably attached to the second longitudinal support member. Here, the spatula and the first longitudinal support member move relative to the second longitudinal support member.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 24, 2021Publication date: March 24, 2022Applicant: GREY ORANGE PTE. LTD.Inventors: Akash Madhukar Patil, Andreas Hofmann, Daniel Echeverria, Manish Soni, Mathew Livianu, Sameer Narkar, Shawn Schaffert, Sumit Kumar Tiwary

Publication number: 20220017316Abstract: A robotic manipulator for handling an object is provided. The robotic manipulator includes a first robotic arm and a first end effector coupled to the first robotic arm. A movement of the first robotic arm orients the first end effector with respect to the object. The robotic manipulator includes a housing, a first conveyor operably coupled to the housing, a second conveyor operably coupled to the housing at an angle with respect to the first conveyor, and a first actuation mechanism. The first and second conveyors are arranged to form a top surface and the bottom surface respectively of a spatula-shaped base. The first actuation mechanism operates the first and second conveyors in one of a first direction and a second direction to manipulate the object. The operation of the first conveyor is independent of the operation of the second conveyor.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 16, 2021Publication date: January 20, 2022Applicant: GREY ORANGE PTE.

Publication number: 20210260766Abstract: A control server controls a dual-arm robotic manipulator (DARM) for handling deformable objects in a stack. The control server receives a set of images of the stack captured by a set of image sensors, and determines a contour of the stack based the set of images. Based on the contour and historical data associated with the deformable objects in the stack, the control server determines a sequence of actions to be performed by the DARM for handling a first deformable object in the stack, and controls the DARM to handle the first deformable object by communicating a set of commands corresponding to each action in sequence of actions. The first deformable object is handled such that original form factors of the first deformable object and the remaining stack are maintained.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 27, 2020Publication date: August 26, 2021Applicant: GREY ORANGE PTE. LTD.Inventors: Akash PATIL, Avilash Kumar, Sumit Tiwary, Manish Soni, Nikhil Sorout, Sameer Narkar, Anirudh Shekhawat, Vaibhav Tolia, Daniel Echeverria, Andreas Hofmann, Mathew Livianu, Robert Pitha, Shawn Schaffert, Andrew Kiruluta, Andrew Lewis

Patent number: 10752442Abstract: A identification and planning system includes a scanner assembly, a robotic manipulator, and control server. The control server detects a first plurality of inventory items in a first inventory storage system and determines a first set of position parameters for a first inventory item from the detected first plurality of inventory items, with respect to a position of one or more image sensors in the scanner assembly. The control server generates a plurality of pick-path plans for the first inventory item, where each pick-path plan corresponds to a transformation of the determined first set of position parameters to a second set of position parameters with respect to the robotic manipulator. The control server further selects a first pick-path plan from the plurality of pick-path plans and controls the robotic manipulator to pick the first inventory item from the first inventory storage system, based on the first pick-path plan.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2019Date of Patent: August 25, 2020Assignee: GREY ORANGE PTE.
