A method is provided in one example and includes receiving at least one first input indicating at least one network condition associated with a first user device having a user associated therewith. The first user device has a first bearer channel established between the first user device and a gateway, and the first bearer channel has a first quality of service level. The method further includes determining whether to modify the first user device to a second quality of service level based upon the received at least one first input, and sending a first request to a first network element instructing the first network element to modify the first user device to the second quality of service level.

System and method for orchestrating policy in a mobile environment

Robotic arms or manipulators can be used to toss inventory items within an inventory system. Tossing strategies for the robotic arms may include information about how a grasped item is to be moved and released by a robotic arm to achieve a trajectory for moving the item to a receiving location. A tossing strategy may also use a trajectory that avoids time and/or space reserved for a trajectory of another tossed item. The receiving location can include surfaces and/or other features that can be manipulated for receiving the item based on one or more characteristics of the tossed item and/or a trajectory of the tossed item.

Robotic tossing of items in inventory system

An item that is moving along a moving surface of an inventory conveyance system may be identified. An orientation of the item with respect to the moving surface may be determined based on sensing information that describes the item and a portion of the moving surface surrounding the item. A removal strategy for operating a robotic arm to remove the item from the moving surface may be determined based at least in part on the item and the orientation. The removal strategy may include a trajectory for the robotic arm to follow as part of removing the item from the moving surface.
