Abstract: An object processing system is disclosed that includes a mobile system for moving from a proximal base toward a plurality of objects to be processed, and a programmable motion device supported on the mobile unit at a proximal end of the programmable motion device, the programmable motion device including an end-effector at a distal end thereof, the end-effector including a first stationary portion that remains stationary with respect to the distal end of the programmable motion device, and a second movable portion that moves with respect to the first stationary portion, the second movable portion for contacting at least one object of the plurality of objects for urging the at least one object from the plurality of objects toward the mobile system.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for processing objects using a programmable motion device. The system includes an end-effector of the programmable motion device for grasping an object from an in-feed container, and a control system for determining a payload guard for the selected object. The payload guard includes pointcloud data regarding volumetric data that include a volume occupied by the selected object, and the payload guard is determined responsive to at least one characteristic of the selected object and is provided specific to the selected object.

Abstract: An object processing system including an input area for receiving a plurality of objects to be processed, an output area including a plurality of destination containers for receiving any of the plurality of objects, a programmable motion device proximate the input area and the output area, the programmable motion device including an end-effector for grasping a selected object of the plurality of objects, and a perception system for detecting the unexpected appearance of any of the plurality of objects that is not associated with the end-effector of the programmable motion device.
