Matthew LaGoy

Title: Matthew LaGoy: Inventor of Robotic Material-Handling Systems

Introduction

Matthew LaGoy is an inventor based in Redwood City, California, and works at Dexterity, Inc. His patent work focuses on systems for handling and organizing stacks and payloads. He is credited with 2 patents.

Latest Patents

LaGoy’s listed inventions include a stack containment structure and a robotic stack pusher.

The stack containment structure uses vertically oriented deflecting arms with funnels to guide a stack into position as it is lowered. Its kitting area supports a vehicle or stack during operations involving items being placed into or picked from it.

The robotic stack pusher system uses substantially planar pusher structures, with at least one nested within another. An actuation device moves the structures between retracted and extended states in response to a control signal, allowing the nested structure to extend telescopically and push a payload with controlled force.
