Amazon Robotics is investigating new ways to manipulate packages and items in Fulfillment Centers. The effort focuses on grasping mechanisms that can enable manipulation of a wider variety of item and package sizes and types compared to the state of the art. To help Amazon Robotics' research and development efforts, this year's SCOPE team created a robotic system that utilizes tactile and vision sensors to grasp a ball and throw it to reach a specified target. Identifying relevant sensor data will help inform Amazon's use of tactile sensing and adaptive gripping in logistics.
