Systems and methods for dynamic processing of objects with data verification

An object processing system to route any one of an object of a plurality of objects to a destination, the system comprising:

• a data repository including information about the plurality of objects, the information including an identity of each of the plurality of objects, each identity associated with the destination and at least one of a known volume, and a known mass;
• a programmable motion device with an end effector adapted to grasp the object;
• a first detection system determining the identity of the object and using the identity of the object to determine the destination from the data repository;
• a second detection system determining a volume associated with the object while the object is grasped by the end effector, and if a known volume for the object is in the data repository, comparing the determined volume with the known volume of the object;
• a third detection system determining a mass of the object while the object is being held by the end effector, and if a known mass for the object is in the data repository, comparing the determined mass with the known mass of the object;
• and
• the programmable motion device moving the object to the destination if a discrepancy in at least one of the comparison between the known volume of the object and the measured volume of the object;
• and the comparison between the known mass of the object and the measured mass of the object is less than a threshold.

A method of verifying the identity of an object in an object processing system, the method comprising:

• providing a data repository containing information relating to the identity of the object and optionally, an associated known mass and an associated known volume of the object;
• determining the identity of the object based on an identifying indicia and if available, at least one of the associated mass and the associated volume of the object;
• grasping the object with an end effector of a programmable motion device;
• determining the mass of the object using the end effector;
• determining the volume of the object by moving the object between a camera and an illumination source using the end effector;
• and
• moving the object to a destination based on at least one of the determined mass of the object and the determined volume of the object.

An object processing and verification system comprising:

• a non-transitory computer-readable medium for storing information about objects including object identifying information, object weight, and object processing information;
• a programmable motion device with an end effector, the end effector adapted to grasp the object and provide a measured weight of the object;
• an identity detection system that detects identifying information associated with the object;
• a carriage having a body to hold the object, a support frame that supports the body and an actuation system for discharging an object in the body from the carriage;
• a computer processing system for comparing the detected identifying information and the measured weight with the object weight of the identified object that is stored in the non-transitory computer-readable medium and providing verification data regarding whether the measured weight matches the object weight within a tolerance range;
• and
• a carriage conveyance system for routing the carriage to any of a plurality of destination locations such that the object may be discharged by the actuation system to a selected destination location associated with the object processing information based on the verification data.
