Robotic system with piece-loss management mechanism

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:

• obtaining a base motion plan configured to operate a robotic assembly to transfer a target object from a start location to a task location;
• receiving a contact measure after implementing an initial portion of the base motion plan, wherein the contact measure represents an amount of grip of the gripper on the target object;
• and
• selectively generating a set of commands and/or settings based on the contact measure for operating the robotic assembly to execute one or more response actions that deviate from a remaining portion of the base motion plan.

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:
• obtaining a base motion plan configured to operate a robotic assembly to transfer the target object from a start location to a task location;
• receiving a contact measure after implementing an initial portion the base motion plan, wherein the contact measure represents an amount of grip of the gripper on the target object measured by a contact sensor;
• determining whether the contact measure fails to satisfy a threshold;
• and
• selectively generating a set of commands and/or settings based on the determination for operating the robotic assembly to deviate from a remaining portion of the base motion plan.
