AUTOMATED MULTI-ARM ROBOTIC SYSTEM

Abstract: a conveyance system includes an in-feed conveyor for conveying a high density flow of a plurality of parcels. the system further includes a first pick conveyor configured for being selectively activated and deactivated in order to space out the plurality of parcels and turn the high density flow into a low density flow of parcels. a second pick conveyor is in series with and downstream of the first pick conveyor. the system further includes a first place conveyor and a second place conveyor in series with and downstream of the first place conveyor. a first robot is configured for transferring parcels from the first pick conveyor to the first place conveyor. a second robot is configured for transferring parcels from the second pick conveyor to the second place conveyor. as such, robots each have their own dedicated workspace and do not interfere with each other.
