Overview

Collaborative Robot demo for distribution centers and warehouses. RapidArm collaborative robot works in conjunction with conveyor based mail sorting machine to effectively pick and place mail on various conveyors.

Solution

The robot (RapidArm) moves scanning for mail in the box. The vacuum gripper on the robot picks mails when pressure increases. The robot has been configured torque limits to ensure that if a package is not detected then the robot is able to navigate to a different area in the box until a mail is successfully picked up.
