ABSTRACT

A method of grasping and/or placing multiple objects by a gripper of a mobile
robot. The multi-grasp method includes determining one or more candidate
groups of objects to grasp by the suction-based gripper of the mobile robot,
each of the one or more candidate groups of objects including a plurality of
objects, determining a grasp quality score for each of the one or more
candidate groups of objects, and grasping, by the suction-based gripper of the
mobile robot, all objects in a candidate group of objects based, at least in
part, on the grasp quality score. The multi-place method includes determining
an allowed width associated with the conveyor, selecting a multi-place
technique based, at least in part, on the allowed width and a dimension of the
multiple grasped objects, and controlling the mobile robot to place the
multiple grasped objects on the conveyor based on the selected multi-place
technique.
