Abstract
A package imaging system can be configured to utilize unused or idle degrees of freedom associated with a robot to collect identification and modeling information. One or more sensors can be attached to the robot and configured to track a package between a first location and a second location. A final joint of the robot can be configured to cause one or more rotations of the package within the reference frame. The one or more sensors can capture one or more images of the package within the reference frame. Based on the one or more images, the package imaging system can determine a package identity from an identifier associated with the package. The package imaging system can also generate a three-dimensional model of the package by combining the one or more pictures.
