Abstract
A robot system includes a robot having a movable robot head with at least two suction grippers spaced apart from one another and a sensor system for detecting a gripping surface pose and a gripping surface size of a gripping surface of a good. Using a controller, a gripping pose for the movable robot head, in which a maximum number of suction grippers is in contact with the gripping surface of the good, is calculated based on the determined gripping surface pose and gripping surface size. Then, the robot head is moved into the calculated gripping pose where the suction grippers are activated so as to grip the good. Moreover, a method operates the robot system.
