Title: Innovations by Anthony Canalungo
Introduction
Anthony Canalungo is an accomplished inventor based in San Carlos, California. He has made significant contributions to the field of automation and robotics, particularly in the area of object separation technology. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique patent that enhances efficiency in handling bulk objects.
Latest Patents
Anthony Canalungo holds a patent for a method titled "Automatically Individually Separating Bulk Objects." This invention involves a work cell and method for automatically separating objects disposed in 3D clusters. The process includes dispensing objects onto a horizontal conveying surface to form a 2D array, which is then reformed into a 1D stream. The objects move in a single-file manner in a predefined direction. A vision-based or other stationary sensing system identifies a selected target object as it passes through an image capture region. The system calculates trajectory data to define the target object's time-based position in the 1D stream. This data is utilized to control a robot arm or other object removal mechanism, ensuring that only the selected object is forcibly removed from the conveying surface. The invention also features a continuous-loop-type conveying mechanism with two parallel conveyor-belt structures and associated belt-switching structures. An AI-powered vision system is incorporated to identify new object shapes during preliminary learning phases.
