The at least one sensor is disposed on a horizontal moving component of the industrial robot. The horizontal moving component moves in a horizontal direction during manipulation of the item. The at least one sensor obtains property data of the item during manipulation of the item. The processing unit determines a model of the item during manipulation of the item using the property data of the item. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OpenTechnical publication OT-2026-000001723 Published 2026-09-15T19:07:56.441999Z https://opentechnical.org/p/OT-2026-000001723
