System and method for robotic bin picking

Abstract

A method and computing system comprising identifying one or more candidate objects for selection by a robot. A path to the one or more candidate objects may be determined based upon, at least in part,a robotic environment and at least one robotic constraint. A feasibility of grasping a first candidate object of the one or more candidate objects may be validated. If the feasibility is validated, the robot may be controlled to physically select the first candidate object. If the feasibility is not validated, at least one of a different grasping point of the first candidate object, a second path, or a second candidate object may be selected.

Description

[0001] Related Patent Applications [0002] This patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 690,186, filed June 26, 2018, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to robotics, and more particularly to systems and methods for robotic case picking. Background technique [0004] Certain forms of manual labor such as unloading bins into machines one piece at a time, bulk part picking, and order fulfillment are labor intensive. These jobs are often dangerous if the workpiece or operation is heavy, sharp or otherwise dangerous. In an effort to combat these problems, case-picking robots have taken care of these tedious tasks. However, robotic case picking is a particularly difficult task to manage because the amount of accuracy and precision required is often beyond the capabilities of the system.
