Abstract
A system and method of operation of a robotic system including: receiving a sensor reading associated with a target object; generating a base plan for performing a task on the target object, wherein generating the base plan includes determining a grip point and one or more grip patterns associated with the grip point for gripping the target object based on a location of the grip point relative to a designated area, a task location, and another target object; implementing the base plan for performing the task by operating an actuation unit and one or more suction grippers according to a grip pattern rank, to generate an established grip on the target object, wherein the established grip is at a grip pattern location associated with the grip patterns; measuring the established grip; comparing the established grip to a force threshold; and re-gripping the target object based on the established grip falling below the force threshold.
