News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“The invention generally relates to programmable motion sys tems and relates in particular to end effectorsfor programmable motion devices (e.g., robotic systems) for use in object processing such as objectsortation.“End effectors for robotic systems, for example, may be employed in certain appl ications to select andgrasp an object, and then move the acquired object very q uickly to a new location. End effectors that aredesigned to securely grasp an o bject during movement may have limitations regarding how quickly andeasily they may select and grasp an object from a jumble of dissimilar objects. Conversely, end effectorsthat may quickly and easily grasp a selected object from a jumble of dissimilar objects may have limitationsregarding how securely they may gras p an acquired object during rapid movement, particularly rapidacceleration and deceleration (both angular and linear). Notwithstanding any grasp planning that themotion system may employ, it sometimes happens, for example, that an object is lifted from a point atwhich the object ends up presenting an unbalanced load on the end effector. This may occur for example,if the object has an uneven we ight distribution that is not apparent from a visual inspection of the object.
