Abstract

A system and method for processing objects presented at an input area of an object processing system acquires perception data associated with an exposed face of an object, and using the acquired information, determines an appropriate end effector that may be exchanged on a programmable motion device from a selection of a plurality of end-effectors that is particularly suitable for grasping and moving the object to be processed.
