Original Abstract Submitted
a system can function relative to an item, a tether, and a robotic manipulator. the tether can correspond to a loop or other structure that can be mountable or mounted in an installed state in which the tether is secured with the item to facilitate lifting the item by lifting of the tether. the robotic manipulator can include a robotic end effector engageable with the tether in the installed state. the robotic end effector can be configurable to an engaged state in which the tether is coupled with the robotic end effector. the robotic manipulator in the engaged state can be operable to move the item by lifting of the tether in the installed state.
