Methods, apparatuses, systems, and computer program products for an improved anti-sway control system and adjustable end effector for a robotic arm are provided. An example method includes determining at least one of a size, shape or orientation of a package to be picked up by an end effector of a robotic arm and facilitating adjusting a position of a suction cup on the end effector, wherein the position is determined based on the at least one determined size, shape, or orientation of the package. The method further includes facilitating grasping the package with the end effector and facilitating movement of the end effector via a robotic joint to reduce force on the suction cup by the package due to an acceleration of the package due to movement of the robotic arm.
