Abstract
One or more first signals are obtained. The first signals indicate a current shape of an object placed on an end effector. The one or more first signals are compared to one or more second signals that each indicate a predefined shape for a process component on the end effector. A determination is made of whether a current placement of the object on the end effector satisfies a target placement criterion based on the comparison.
