An end-effector system is disclosed for use with a programmable motion device. The end-effector system includes an arm attachment portion for attachment to an arm of the programmable motion device, an end-effector attachment portion for attachment to an end-effector for grasping objects, a rotational shaft portion for rotational attachment to the arm attachment portion, said rotational shaft portion being coupled to the end-effector attachment portion at a distal end thereof, and a motor system providing rotation of the rotational shaft portion as well as the end-effector attachment portion with respect to the arm attachment portion.

Systems and methods for object processing with programmable motion devices using yawing grippers

An end-effector for a programmable motion device is disclosed for use with a vacuum source. The end-effector includes an end-effector attachment portion for attaching the end-effector to the programmable motion device, the end-effector attachment portion including a vacuum channel coupled to the vacuum source, a contact portion of the end-effector for contacting an object to be acquired by the contact portion of the end-effector, a flexible intermediate section including a contact end of the flexible intermediate portion proximate the contact portion of the end-effector, the flexible intermediate section of the end-effector being intermediate the end-effector attachment portion and the contact portion of the end-effector, the flexible intermediate section including a bellows portion that extends radially outwardly of the vacuum channel, and a bellows insert that extends into the flexible intermediate section.

Systems and methods for disrupting resonance in vacuum cup assemblies used with programmable motion devices

A container jostling system for jostling objects within a container is disclosed, where the container is positioned on a conveyor that includes a plurality of rollers that are mutually spaced from one another. The container jostling system includes at least one container contact element that is movable vertically between at least two rollers of the conveyor, and is movable horizontally in a direction that is substantially parallel with the at least two rollers.

Systems and methods for assisting in object grasping from containers in object processing systems

A vacuum cup is disclosed for use in a programmable motion device. The vacuum cup includes an open inlet for coupling to a vacuum source, and a vacuum cup lip on a portion of the vacuum cup that generally surrounds the open inlet. The vacuum cup lip includes an inner surface that defines the open outlet through which a vacuum may be provided, and includes noise mitigation features on an outer surface of the vacuum cup lip.

Systems and methods for providing, in programmable motion devices, compliant end effectors with noise mitigation

Systems and methods for powering and controlling flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle are provided. The unmanned aerial vehicles can be used in a networked communication system. A tether management system can be used to facilitate both mobile and static tethered operation to provide power and/or voice and data communication.

Persistent aerial communication and control system

A method for controlling an unmanned aerial vehicle within a flight operating space. The unmanned aerial vehicle includes one or more sensor arrays on each spar. The method includes determining, using a plurality of sensor arrays, a flight path for the unmanned aerial vehicle. The method also includes receiving, by at least one sensor array of the plurality of sensor arrays, sensor data identifying at least one object in the operating space. The sensor data is transmitted over a communications bus connecting components of the UAV. The method further includes determining, by one or more processors onboard the unmanned aerial vehicle, a flight path around the at least one object. The method also includes generating, by the one or more onboard processors, a first signal to cause the unmanned aerial vehicle to navigate within the operating space around the at least one object.

Control systems for unmanned aerial vehicles

Systems and methods are provided for powering and controlling flight of an unmanned aerial vehicle. The unmanned aerial vehicles can be used in a networked system under common control and operation and can be used for a variety of applications. Selected embodiments can operate while tethered to a portable control system. A high speed tether management system can be used to facilitate both mobile and static tethered operation. Modular components provide for both tethered and fully autonomous flight operations.
