From the background information supplied by the inventors, news correspondents obtained the followingquote: “The present invention relates to the handling of parcels within a sorting or similar facility. Inparticular, the present invention relates to a trapdoor rejection subsystem which can be used in a conveyorsystem to selectively reject and redirect parcels.“In a sorting facility for parcels, various parcels are unloaded from trucks or other vehicles at unloadinglocations, sorted, and then loaded onto trucks or other vehicles at loading locations for delivery to theintended recipients. Thus, within the sorting facility, there is often a complex system of conveyors andequipment that facilitates transport and sorting of the parcels within the facility. One such piece of equipmentuseful for sorting the various parcels is a robot singulator, including a robotic framework (comprisedof one or more arms) and an end effector, such as a vacuum-based end effector, that is mounted to thedistal end of the robotic framework and configured to engage parcels. In this regard, a number of differentrobot singulators exist in the art, such as those disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 10,646,898and 10,994,309, which are incorporated herein by reference.
