From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents obtained the followingquote: “The invention generally relates to programmable motion systems and relates in particular to end effectors for programmable motion devices (e.g., robotic systems) for use in object processing such asobject sortation.“End effectors for robotic systems, for example, may be employed in certain applications to select andgrasp an object, and then move the acquired object very quickly to a new location. End effectors that aredesigned to securely grasp an object during movement may have limitations regarding how quickly and easilythey may select and grasp an object from a jumble of dissimilar objects. Conversely, end effectors that mayquickly and easily grasp a selected object from a jumble of dissimilar objects may have limitations regardinghow securely they may grasp an acquired object during rapid movement, particularly rapid acceleration anddeceleration (both angular and linear). Notwithstanding any grasp planning that the motion system mayemploy, it sometimes happens, for example, that an object is lifted from a point at which the object endsup presenting an unbalanced load on the end effector. This may occur for example, if the object has anuneven weight distribution that is not apparent from a visual inspection of the object.
