Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors:“In many cases, packages arranged in pallets (or “palletized”) for shipment to a destination, where thepackages are subsequently de-palletized at the destination. Packages may be de-palletized by humanworkers, which can be resource-intensive and increase the risk of injury to the human workers. In industrialsettings, de-palletizing operations may be performed by industrial robots, such as a robotic arm that grip,lift, transport, and deliver the package to a release point. Also, an imaging device may be utilized tocapture an image of a stack of packages loaded on the pallet. A system may process the image to ensurethe package is efficiently handled by the robotic arm, such as by comparing the captured image with aregistered image stored in a registration data source.
