A containerized robotic system is disclosed. The containerized robotic system includes a base having a first attachment area configured to securely mount a robot and a second attachment area configured to securely mount a compressor, the base further including a set of one or more channels to provide an electrical connection to supply power to the robot and the compressor, respectively, and to provide compressed air from the compressor to the robot, a detachable superstructure configured to be removably connected to the base to define an enclosed space of sufficient size to accommodate at least the robot and the compressor, and a power distribution unit secured to the base and coupled to receive electrical power as input and to provide electrical power to the robot and the compressor via the set of one or more channels.

Containerized robotic system

Techniques are disclosed to use robotic system simulation to control a robotic system. In various embodiments, a communication indicating an action to be performed by a robotic element is received from a robotic control system. Performance of the action by the robotic element is simulated. A state tracking data is updated to reflect a virtual change to one or more state variables as a result of simulated performance of the action. Successful completion of the action by the robotic element is reported to the robotic control system.

Robotic system simulation engine

Techniques are disclosed to perform robotic handling of soft products in non-rigid packaging. In various embodiments, sensor data associated with a workspace is received. An action to be performed in the workspace using one or more robotic elements is determined, the action including moving an end effector of one of the robotic elements relatively quickly to a location in proximity to an item to be grasped; actuating a grasping mechanism of the end effector to grasp the item using an amount of force and structures associated with minimized risk of damage to one or both of the item and its packaging; and using sensor data generated subsequent to the item being grasped to ensure the item has been grasped securely. Control communications are sent to the robotic element via the communication interface to cause robotic element to perform the action.
