Abstract

An end-of-arm tool for robotic baggage handling including a vacuum head assembly, a linear slide mechanism, passive and active tilt assemblies, and a vacuum head pivot assembly. The tool is designed to efficiently and safely handle luggage to or from Unit Load Devices (ULDs) or baggage carts, addressing challenges in airport baggage handling operations. The end-or-arm tool improves upon existing techniques by providing flexibility in luggage orientation, precise control through advanced sensing, and the ability to handle bags up to 75 lbs. The end-of-arm tool is compatible with various robotic arm systems and significantly enhances the efficiency, safety, and reliability of luggage handling in airport environments.
