How Amazon trained its robot Robin to sort packages - The Robot Report

Robin uses its suction gripper to pick packages from a conveyor belt. Thousands of packages pass through Amazon's fulfillment centers every day. More and more of those packages are picked up, scanned, and organized by Amazon's Robin robotic arm. Robin picks packages from a conveyor belt with its suction gripper, scans them and then places them on a drive robot that routes it to the correct loading dock. Robin's job is particularly difficult because of its rapidly changing environment.
