Logging and analyzing robotic picking data

Abstract

Exemplary embodiments pertain to an intelligence module for a robotic pick-and-place system. As the intelligence module identifies the next pick for the robotic gripper, data is logged and presented to a user. The user can evaluate why the system decided to select a particular target object, and adjust parameters of the system (such as filtering and sorting rules, gripper opening amounts, etc.) to achieve desired outcomes and/or load balancing. The system may optionally simulate proposed changes to estimate how the changes would affect system throughput and display projected and historical throughput on an analytics interface so that the user can evaluate the effects of their proposed changes.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
