Robotic system with automated package scan and registration mechanism and methods of operating the same

A robotic system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• at least one memory device connected to the at least one processor and having stored thereon instructions executable by the processor for:
• receiving an image data representative of an unrecognized object located at a start location;
• implementing operations for transferring the unrecognized object to a task location;
• while implementing the operations for transferring the unrecognized object, implement operations for scanning at least one portion of the unrecognized object that was unrecognizable or hidden in the image data;
• generating a scanning result based on implementing the operations for scanning the at least one portion of the unrecognized object;
• and
• creating new registration data representative of a new record for cataloging the unrecognized object, wherein the new registration data includes the scanning result.

A tangible, non-transient computer-readable medium having processor instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a robotic system via one or more processors thereof, cause the robotic system to perform a method, the method comprising:

• receiving an image data representative of an unrecognized object located at a start location;
• implementing operations for transferring the unrecognized object to a task location;
• deriving a location of a surface or a portion thereof of the unrecognized object based on the image data;
• using the image data, deriving a scanning position based on the location of the surface of the unrecognized object;
• implementing operations for positioning the unrecognized object to expose the surface and/or one or more portions of the unrecognized object to a sensor, during the operations for transferring, based on the scanning position;
• generating a scanning result representative of an output from the sensor scanning the surface and/or the one or more portions;
• and
• creating new registration data representative of a new record for the unrecognized object, wherein the new registration data includes the scanning result.
