Systems and methods for providing detection via transfer of objects

A dynamic movement analytics system, comprising:

• a programmable motion device including an end-effector;
• and
• a perception transfer system including at least two perception transfer units coupled to respective articulated mounts, wherein each perception transfer unit (42) is provided for receiving an object from the end-effector and the respective articulated mounts travel along a circular track (46) that at least partially encircles the programmable motion device for moving the object contained in each perception transfer unit toward any of a plurality of destination containers,
• each perception transfer unit including a perception system for providing perception data regarding the object as the object is moved toward the destination container, said perception system including at least one optical perception unit and at least one weight detection sensor,
• wherein at least one of the perception transfer units (40) travels to any one of the plurality of destination containers at the same time the programmable motion device (34) returns the end effector (36) to a position at which the end effector is ready to select another object.

• the perception transfer unit including a perception system for providing perception data regarding the object as the object is moved toward the the destination container, and
• wherein the perception transfer unit comprises a frame (101) and at least one actuatable drop floor panel (102, 104) for transferring the object received from the end-effector of the programmable motion device to the destination container, and
• wherein the perception transfer system (40) travels to the destination container at the same time the programmable motion device (34) returns the end effector (36) to a position at which the end effector is ready to select another object.

A method of processing objects comprising:

• moving an object from an input area using a programmable motion device including an end-effector;
• receiving the object from the end-effector of the programmable motion device in a perception transfer system, the perception transfer system including at least one perception transfer unit coupled to an articulated mount;
• moving the object received in the at least one perception transfer unit toward any one of a plurality of destination containers by the articulated mount traveling along a circular track (46) that at least partially encircles the programmable motion device;
• and
• providing perception data regarding one or more of weight, shape, pose authority, position authority and identity information regarding the object by a perception system of the at least one perception transfer unit as the object is moved toward the destination container,
• wherein the at least one perception transfer unit travels to the destination container at the same time the programmable motion device (34) returns the end effector (36) to a position at which the end effector is ready to select another object.
