ABSTRACT

A tidying robot is used to place and remove a target object, such as a cup,
plate or cutlery item, at another location. The robot extends and rotates
pusher pads to grasp the target object, and then retracts the pusher pads to
move the target object into a scoop. The robot then transports the target
object to a destination, such as a dishwasher or storage platform, where it is
placed on a storage platform. The robot may also sort items, such as the
cutlery and place it into cutlery tray slots.
