Abstract

Any technical error with robotic arms that are used to automatically perform object packing can affect quality and efficiency with which the packing is being carried out, and this in turn affects space utilization when a large quantity of objects are to be accommodated in tight packing spaces. This disclosure relates generally to automated object packing and more specifically to an object packing mechanism in which corrections are made when placement of object is identified as violating one or more regulations. The system packs objects by calculating ICP-BCP pairs for each empty space in a packing space. After packing each object, the system checks whether placement of the object violates one or more regulations, and if any violation is found, then the system determines and executes one or more corrective action to correct placement of the object that violates the regulation.
