The present invention relates to an object handling system (1) comprising at least a first inductor (IND) and a main translation device (MTD). The main translation device (MTD) may be a sorter system for e.g. parcels or luggage, and wherein the inductor (IND) is adapted to receive objects (OBJ) at a stand still or very low velocity and accelerate said objects (OBJ) to a velocity at or near a velocity of the main translation device (MTD) without the objects (OBJ) toppling or tilting during acceleration or translation from the inductor (IND) to the main translation device (MTD). The object handling system (1) further comprises a control system CS comprising at least a controller (CO) and optionally a processor (PROC) and wherein the control system (CS) controls the operation of the inductor (IND) and the main translation device (MTD). The processor (PROC) is adapted with a mathematical model (MM), preferably a learning algorithm, the mathematical model (MM) adapted to receive data from a sensor system (SS) of the object handling system (1), and adjust operation parameters (OP) of at least the inductor (IND), based on any detected error (ERR) during translation of a specific object (OBJ1) from the inductor (IND) to a target (TAR) of the specific object (OBJ1) along a path of the main translation device (MTD). The mathematical model MM is further configured to apply the adjusted operation parameters (ADJ_OP) when a further object (OBJ2) is received at the inductor (IND) and wherein object parameters (IOP') sensed by the sensor system (SS) of the further object (OBJ2) is similar to initial object parameters (IOP) of the specific object (OBJ1), to reduce error (ERR) during translation of the further object (OBJ2).

The invention relates to an object picking and holding device (60, 60') for a handling robot (10, 10') and / or a storage device (12), comprising at least one passive gripper unit (14) for picking up and holding an object (16) with at least one bolt-like coupling point (18) It is proposed that the passive gripper unit (14) comprises at least a first passive gripper element (20) and at least a second passive gripper element (22), wherein the first passive gripper element (20) is hook-shaped at least in a cross-sectional or side view and is designed to receive and hold the bolt-like coupling point (18) of the object (16) such that the object (16) retains one degree of freedom for rotation about a bolt axis (24) of the bolt-like coupling point (18), and wherein the second passive gripper element (22) forms a support surface (26) designed to grip a surface (28) of the object (16) spaced apart from the bolt-like coupling point (18).which is automatically deflected by the object's own weight (16) about the bolt axis (24) of the bolt-like coupling point (18) of the object (16) positioned in the first passive gripper element (20) in the direction of the second passive gripper element (22).

The invention discloses a heavy object carrying device for logistics. The heavy object carrying device comprises a device body. The connecting assembly is arranged on the device body; when a heavy object placed on the supporting plate is integrally dragged to move, a hinge rod hinged to the bottom of the supporting plate deflects immediately, a supporting sliding block hinged to the bottom of the hinge rod moves along with the hinge rod, a supporting rod is fixedly connected to the inner side of a supporting block fixedly connected to the top of the device body, and the moving supporting sliding block slides on the outer wall of the supporting rod.
