Robot manipulator for handling objects

A system for handling an object, the system comprising:

• a robotic manipulator, comprising:
• a first robotic arm;
• and
• a first end effector coupled to the first robotic arm, wherein a movement of the first robotic arm orients the first end effector with respect to the object for handling of the object, and comprising:
• a housing;
• a first conveyor operably coupled to the housing;
• a second conveyor operably coupled to the housing at an angle with respect to the first conveyor, wherein the first conveyor and the second conveyor are arranged to form a spatula-shaped base, and wherein the first conveyor forms a top surface of the spatula-shaped base and the second conveyor forms a bottom surface of the spatula-shaped base;
• and
• a first actuation mechanism, enclosed in the housing, that operates the first conveyor and the second conveyor in one of a first direction and a second direction to manipulate the object, wherein the operation of the first conveyor is independent of the operation of the second conveyor;
• and
• a control server in communication with the robotic manipulator, the control server configured to:
• detect the object to be handled;
• determine a sequence of a plurality of actions to be performed by the robotic manipulator for handling the object;
• and
• control, based on the determined sequence of the plurality of actions:
• the first robotic arm to orient the first end effector with respect to the object;
• and
• the first actuation mechanism to operate the first conveyor and the second conveyor in the first direction or the second direction to handle the object.
