By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-According to news reporting originating from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx journalists, a patent by the inventors Faulkner, Mario (Wesley Chapel, FL, US), Harris, Calem (Tampa, FL, US), Jagannathan, Arun Kumar Ranganathan (Shrewsbury, MA, US), Mora, Sebastian (Davenport, FL, US), Skantze, Carl (Tampa, FL, US), Tsoka, Arnold (Orlando, FL, US), Tucker, Grant (Orlando, FL, US), filed on June 30, 2022, was published online on February 13, 2024. The assignee for this patent, patent number 11897701, is Staples Inc. (Framingham, Massachusetts, United States). Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "This application relates to warehouse fulfillment systems. For example, this application relates to a transfer station that transfers objects from a first location into a second location, for example, into a carton, which may be used to automatedly package the cartons. "Some current fulfillment systems use drag-along carts onto which items are placed by pickers. The pickers may place the items into shipping cartons to be shipped to customers. Other fulfillment systems may use robots to bring items to pickers, who then manually place the items into shipping cartons. Some fulfillment systems divide inventory into a series of zones and use carts, robots, or conveyor belts to move items between zones, but many of the operations are performed manually. Such manual processes require human pickers to follow many instructions, which leads to significant errors by the human pickers and fatigue.
