Here\u2019s how AmbiSort works. A depth-sensing camera first looks into a bin of items and analyzes the objects. After determining how to best grasp the item, the robot picks up the item with its suction gripper, holds it up to a barcode scanner, then places the item into a bin. The system then alerts a human operator when a bin is full and ready to be packed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ambi Robotics has two flagship products.
