A distribution system is disclosed for use in an induction system with an object processing system. The distribution system provides distribution of dissimilar objects into one of a plurality of receiving units. The distribution system includes an urging system for urging an object on a conveyor from the conveyor to one of a plurality of adjacent receiving stations via a receiving chute, wherein each receiving station is lower than the conveyor.

Systems and methods for separating objects using conveyor transfer with one or more object processing systems

An induction system is disclosed for filtering the induction of objects to a plurality of object processing systems. The induction system includes an evaluation means for evaluating at least one characteristic of an object, and routing means for routing the object in one of a plurality of directions responsive to the evaluated characteristic, at least one of the plurality of directions leading to a selected one of the plurality of object processing systems.

Systems and methods for distributing induction of objects to a plurality of object processing systems

An object processing system is disclosed that includes an object induction station at which objects are provided for processing. The object induction station includes at least one perception unit for providing perception data regarding an object, and an object processing system for receiving objects from the object induction station, and for urging an object into a first end of one of a plurality of chute location, each of which including a first end that is accessible by the carrier and a second end that is accessible by a mobile destination container of a plurality of mobile destination containers.

Robotic put wall systems and methods with mobile destination location assemblies

A carrier system is disclosed for use in an object processing system. The carrier system includes a carrier body including a plurality of containment areas for respectively receiving a plurality of objects at a loading station, a motion actuator for moving the carrier body from the loading station to a distribution area, and an ejection actuation system for actuating the carrier body to deposit each of the plurality of objects into different destination locations.

Object processing systems and methods with multi-object shuttling

A system is disclosed for providing extrinsic calibration of a camera to a relative working environment of a programmable motion device that includes an end-effector. The system includes a fiducial located at or near the end-effector, at least one camera system for viewing the fiducial as the programmable motion device moves in at least three degrees of freedom, and for capturing a plurality of images containing the fiducial, and a calibration system for analyzing the plurality of images to determine a fiducial location with respect to the camera to permit calibration of the camera with the programmable motion device.

A container assembly processing system is disclosed that includes a container lifting assembly for lifting a container vertically from a carrier on a conveyor system.

Automated processing of container assembly systems and methods

A distribution system is disclosed for use with an induction system with an object processing system. The distribution system provides distribution of dissimilar objects into one of a plurality of receiving units. The distribution system includes an urging system for urging an object on a conveyor from the conveyor to a chute that includes at least one actuatable door for selectively dropping the object through the at least one actuable door, said chute leading to a first receiving station with a second receiving station being positioned below the at least one actuable door.
