Abstract

Various embodiments are directed to methods, apparatuses, and systems for operating logistic robotic systems. In various embodiments, an end effector configured to selectively engage an object may comprise a frame assembly; and a gripping mechanism configured to grasp the object using one or more grasping element, the one or more grasping element being configurable between an open configuration and an activated configuration; wherein the gripping mechanism is independently moveable relative to the frame assembly in one or more directions; and wherein the end effector is configured to engage the object such that the frame assembly contacts a first portion of the object, and the gripping mechanism contacts a second portion of the object. Further, various embodiments are directed to a system for handling an object within a handling environment comprising an end effector configured to selectively engage the object and a controller communicatively connected with the end effector.
