Abstract
Features are disclosed for an end effector for automated identification and handling of an object. The end effector includes an end effector that can be positioned over a pick point of an overpackage in which a desired object is location using sensors. Using the location information, the end effector can identify a path to the pick point and detect whether the pick point is engaged by detecting environmental changes at the end effector.
