A robot system includes a robot having a gripping unit for gripping goods and a sensor system for detecting a loading space of a loading aid and the goods stored therein. After the gripping of a good, a check is conducted using a controller on whether a good protrudes beyond the loading space. If necessary, the good protruding beyond the loading space is gripped and placed at a different position, or the part of the good protruding beyond the loading space is moved into the loading space. Moreover, a method operates the robot system.

A robot system includes a robot having a movable robot head with at least two suction grippers spaced apart from one another and a sensor system for detecting a gripping surface pose and a gripping surface size of a gripping surface of a good. Using a controller, a gripping pose for the movable robot head, in which a maximum number of suction grippers is in contact with the gripping surface of the good, is calculated based on the determined gripping surface pose and gripping surface size. Then, the robot head is moved into the calculated gripping pose where the suction grippers are activated so as to grip the good. Moreover, a method operates the robot system.

A picking station for picking goods has a source container conveyor for automated transporting of source containers, a target container conveyor for automated transporting of target containers and a fully automated robot system. The source container conveyor includes a first removal area, where a first source container is provisioned, and a second removal area, where a second source container is provisioned. The target container conveyor includes a first loading area, where a first target container is provisioned, and a second loading area, where a second target container is provisioned. The robot system includes a robot having a gripping unit configured to remove goods according to different orders from the first source container and/or second source container and place them into the first target container and/or second target container, and a sensor system for capturing the goods in the first and second source containers. A method automatically picks goods.
