Robotics&Machine Learning Daily News的新闻记者兼新闻编辑-根据NewsRx记者来自华盛顿特区的新闻报道，发明者Fofonoff，Timothy（美国马萨诸塞州剑桥）；Lee，Vivian（美国马萨诸塞州萨默维尔）于2023年10月3日提交的专利申请于2024年5月16日在网上公布。本专利申请未转让给公司或机构。以下引述是新闻编辑从发明人提供的背景信息中获得的：“诸如仓库环境中的后勤操作通常包括从第一位置(例如，容器)收集物品并将物品放置在第二位置(例如，在传送带或皮带上)的机器人装置。这些操作要求机器人装置首先对物品进行GRAS。现有的机器人装置通常包括一个吸引装置，产生吸力来“抓住”物品。“现有的拣装置通常设计用于窄范围的物品和具有类似特征的物品。例如，拣装置可能具有一个形状为抓取特定尺寸箱子的吸力装置。类似地，拣装置可能配置为只抓取具有特定形状、重量、材料、表面等的物品。这限制了拣装置的实用性。”因为它只能掌握具有一定特征的特征。
Abstract
By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News – A patent application by the inventors Fofonoff, Timothy (Cambridge, MA, US); Lee, Vivian (Somerville, MA, US); Payton, Nicholas (Somerville, MA, US), filed on October 3, 2023, was made available onl ine on May 16, 2024, according to news reporting originating from Washington, D. C., by NewsRx correspondents. This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution. 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 a suction device that generat es a suction force to “grasp” the item. “Existing picking devices are typically designed for a narrow range of items and those with similar features. For example, a picking device may have a suction d evice shaped to grasp boxes of a particular size. Similarly, a picking device ma y be configured to only grasp items that have a particular shape, weight, materi al, surface, etc. This limits a picking device’s utility, as it can only grasp i tems with certain characteristics.
