ABSTRACT

Systems and methods are disclosed for counter balancing for improved robotic
system efficiency. In one embodiment, an example container handling system may
include a laterally movable frame moveable in a lateral direction, an upright
frame supported by the laterally movable frame, and a header movably coupled
to the upright frame and configured to move in a vertical direction, where the
header includes an extractor, and a support assembly configured to open and
close, where the support assembly is configured to receive an item from the
extractor. The system may include a pulley assembly configured to drive
vertical movement of the header, and a counter balance coupled to the pulley
assembly, where the counter balance provides a force to counter gravitational
force exerted on the header.
