An automated system of airborne drones may be equipped with components for navigating within a warehouse environment, locating specific bins of product as assigned, retrieving a single item from the bin, and delivering the retrieved item to a central shipping area or disposing in a designated location including conveyor belts or mobile robotic platforms.

Automated warehouse order picking

A system for building a product library without requiring a planogram includes an image capture unit operated to provide images of items. Taking data from a shelf label detector and depth map creation unit, a processing module can be used to compare detected shelf labels to a depth map, define a product bounding box, and associate the bounding box with an image provided by the image capture unit to build image descriptors. The system can include one or more autonomous robots for supporting and moving the image capture unit and other components.

System and method for locating, identifying and counting items

A manually assisted robot inventory monitoring method provides for detecting and reading shelf labels using an autonomous robot. Bounding boxes around possible products in a panoramic image can be taken with at least one camera associated with the autonomous robot. Products in the bounding boxes are automatically identified, with those that are not being later manually identified.
