Right now robots doing pick and place are nowhere near the efficiency of humans, but small improvements will combine to make them competitive and, eventually, more than competitive.

To fully understand the advantages, compare and contrast cartesian robots with other six-axis articulated robots.

Robot researchers have long looked at the science of Kinematics and particularly how it applies to parallel robotics as providing novel solutions to robotic problems.

Other projects, like Cornell’s DeepGrasping paper, analyze an object once for the best place to grasp, attempt to pick it up, then try again if it failed.

The project uses inverse kinematics running on an Arduino Mega to pick coloured objects off a moving conveyor belt and drop them in their respective bins.

OK-Robot succeeded in completing full pick-and-drops in 58% of cases. Notably, this is a zero-shot algorithm, which means the models used in the system were not specifically trained for such ...

The China-based technology and solar infrastructure company has launched Buildex, a line of solar panel installation robots.
