Abstract: A method and system for picking or put-away within a logistics facility. The system includes a central server and at least one mobile manipulation robot. The central server is configured to communicate with the robots to send and receive picking data which includes a unique identification for each item to be picked, a location within the logistics facility of the items to be picked, and a route for the robot to take within the logistics facility. The robots can then autonomously navigate and position themselves within the logistics facility by recognition of landmarks by at least one of a plurality of sensors. The sensors also provide signals related to detection, identification, and location of a item to be picked or put-away, and processors on the robots analyze the sensor information to generate movements of a unique articulated arm and end effector on the robot to pick or put-away the item.

Abstract: Bin retrieval robots configured to pick or put-away bins within a logistics facility and to transport one or more picked bins. Methods and systems for autonomous picking or put-away of bins within a logistics facility that include the bin retrieval robot(s) are also disclosed. The systems include a remote server and at least one bin retrieval robot, wherein the remote server is configured to communicate with the bin retrieval robot(s) to send and receive picking data, and the bin retrieval robot(s) are configured to autonomously navigate and position within the logistics facility.

Abstract: Managing supply chain inventory is accomplished by measuring the dimensions and the weight of a product. A plurality of images of the product is obtained. The shape of the outer surface of the product is determined. The center of gravity of the product can be calculated. A product model that includes a three dimensional representation of the shape of a configuration of the product and optionally the center of gravity of the product is generated. The product model is stored in memory for future use.
