Abstract
Apparatuses, method and computer program products for automatically performing sorting operations are disclosed herein. An example apparatus may comprise: an array of gripping elements, and at least one processing component configured to: obtain image data corresponding with the plurality of items; identify, from the image data, one or more characteristics of the plurality of items; determine, based at least in part on the one or more characteristics, an ordered sequence corresponding with the plurality of items; and generate a control indication to cause at least one of the gripping elements to perform the sorting operations based at least in part on the ordered sequence.
Claims20
An apparatus for automatically performing sorting operations with respect to a plurality of items, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more gripping elements;
- and
- at least one processing component configured to:
- obtain image data corresponding with the plurality of items;
- identify, from the image data, one or more characteristics of the plurality of items;
- determine, based at least in part on the one or more characteristics, an ordered sequence corresponding with the plurality of items;
- and
- generate a control indication to cause the one or more gripping elements to perform the sorting operations based at least in part on the ordered sequence, wherein the ordered sequence comprises a set of instructions to pause a deposit of at least one item of the plurality of items for at least a predetermined time duration based on the one or more characteristics of the plurality of items.
A method for automatically performing sorting operations with respect to a plurality of items, the method comprising:
- obtaining, by at least one processing component, image data corresponding with the plurality of items;
- identifying, from the image data, one or more characteristics of the plurality of items;
- determining, based at least in part on the one or more characteristics, an ordered sequence corresponding with the plurality of items;
- and
- generating a control indication to cause one or more gripping elements to perform the sorting operations based at least in part on the ordered sequence, wherein the ordered sequence comprises a set of instructions to pause a deposit of at least one item of the plurality of items for at least a predetermined time duration based on the one or more characteristics of the plurality of items.
A computer program product configured to automatically perform sorting operations with respect to a plurality of items, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer executable program code instructions therein, the computer executable program code instructions comprising program code instructions configured, upon execution, to:
- obtain image data corresponding with the plurality of items;
- identify, from the image data, one or more characteristics of the plurality of items;
- determine, based at least in part on the one or more characteristics, an ordered sequence corresponding with the plurality of items;
- and
- generate a control indication to cause one or more gripping elements to perform the sorting operations based at least in part on the ordered sequence, wherein the ordered sequence comprises a set of instructions to pause a deposit of at least one item of the plurality of items for at least a predetermined time duration based on the one or more characteristics of the plurality of items.
