Method and system for robotic pick-and-place comprising a container floor mounted to a transformable end of a lift mechanism and a set of container walls to define a container working volume with a working depth extends beyond a picking workspace of a robotic arm

Abstract

The system can include: a container, a set of sensors, and a controller. The system can optionally include a robot. However, the systemcan additionally or alternatively include any other suitable set of components. The system functions to monitor and/or maintain a fullness level of a container. The system can additionally or alternatively function to enable robotic picking out of the container (e.g., in a pick-and-place setting). The system can additionally function to maintain candidate objects within reach of the robot's end effector to increase robot uptime while minimizing the extent of the robot's required motion (e.g., in the z-axis).
