ABSTRACT

The present application discloses a system, a method, and a computer system
for moving items deemed to be too heavy to be picked up by a robotic arm. The
method includes (i) receiving sensor data from one or more sensors associated
with a source conveyor configured to convey items to a pick location, (ii)
determining, based at least in part on the sensor data, that an item that is
too heavy to be lifted by a robotic arm controlled by the one or more
processors has entered the source conveyor, and (iii) providing an output
indicating that the item too heavy to be lifted by the robotic arm has been
detected.
