Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “Logistic operations such as those in warehouse environments often include robotic devices to gather items from a first location (e.g., a container) and place the items at a second location (e.g., on a convey or belt). Accordingly, these operations require the robotic device to first gras p the item. Existing robotic devices often include one or more finger portions o r a suction device that generates a suction force to “grasp” the item.
