The patent’s assignee is Plus One Robotics Inc. (San Antonio, Texas, United Stat es).News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“Robotic systems with vacuum gripping engaging structures f or grabbing, holding, sorting and movingobjects are known. For example, U.S. Pa t. No. 6,015,174, the disclosure of which is hereby incorporatedby reference, d iscloses a universal end effector system applied to a robot that positions pliab le “bellows,”which are more commonly known as vacuum cups, that compress and se al against the surface of an objectto be moved. The system applies a pneumatic vacuum pressure within the sealed area of the bellowssecured to the end effecto r of the object, thereby allowing the robot to lift and move the object. The system includes a control system with sensors and the like that allows the vacuum t o be engaged and releasedon demand, and/or based on predetermined sensed criter ia, to allow objects gripped by the end effectorto be grabbed, moved, and relea sed by the robot as desired. Efforts to improve on this basic vacuumgripping sy stem have included adding additional gripping technology to the working end of t he gripper.For example, U.S. Pat. No. 7,963,578, the disclosure of which is her eby incorporated by reference, teachesusing an electro-magnet in the gripper th at works alone or in tandem with the pneumatic vacuum grippingsystem.
