Abstract
Provided herein are various apparatuses, systems, and methods for suppressing swing in an automated system, such as an automated dispensing system. In particular, an apparatus may include an object retrieval arm configured to move within a workspace, an object retrieval head carried by the object retrieval arm, where the object retrieval head is configured to grasp a first end portion of an object, and at least one nozzle arranged proximate the object retrieval head, where the nozzle is directed toward a second end portion of the object. The apparatus may optionally include a controller configured to identify a swing condition and to cause a pulse of air to be blown from the at least one nozzle toward the object in response to identifying the swing condition. The swing condition may include an acceleration or deceleration rate above a predetermined value.
