Embodiment Construction

[0041] Handling of objects in distribution centers (eg sorting) is one application for automatically identifying and moving objects. For example, in a shipping distribution center, objects typically arrive by truck, are transported to a sort station to be processed at the sort station, e.g., sorted according to desired destination, assembled in bags, and then loaded onto a truck in for transport to the desired destination. Another application may be in the shipping department of a retail store or order fulfillment center, which may require that an object be processed for shipment to a different shipper or to a different distribution center for a particular shipper. At a shipping or distribution center, objects may take the form of plastic bags, boxes, tubes, envelopes, or any other suitable container, and in some cases may also include objects that are not in a container. In a shipping or distribution center, the desired destination is typically obtained by reading identifica...

Abstract

A semi-autonomous processing system for processing objects is disclosed. The semi-autonomous processing system includes an input conveyance system for moving objects to a presentation area, a perception system including perception units that are directed toward a detection area for providing perception data regarding an object in the presentation area, at least two transport systems, each of which is adapted to receive the object and move the object in either of reciprocal directions, and a manual workstation area between the perception area the at least two transport systems.

Description

[0001] priority [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 752,607, filed October 30, 2018, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0003] The present invention relates generally to automated, robotic, and other handling systems, and in particular to objects (e.g., items, packages, or Packaging) automation and robotic systems in the environment. [0004] Many object distribution systems receive objects in an ordered or unordered stream, which may be provided as individual objects or objects aggregated into groups, such as in bags, in any of several different means of transport. Arrives on one (usually conveyor, truck, pallet, Gaylord, or crate, etc.). Each object must then be dispensed to the correct destination container as identified by the identification information associated with the object, typically by a label printed on the object. Destination containers c...
