Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors: “The present disclosure relates in general to a robotic sys tem for handling objects and is more particularly directed to an end effector co nfigured to apply equal amounts of tension to a plurality of objects regardless of the variability of the object. A handling environment load with a plurality o f objects are transported to deliver objects to a loading and unload area. End e ffectors operably connected to a robotic system have been used for loading and u nloading objects. However, these alternative end effectors are plagued by techni cal challenges and limitations. Through applied effort, ingenuity, and innovatio n, many of these identified problems have been solved by developing solutions th at are included in embodiments of the present disclosure, many examples of which are described in detail herein.”
