Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B

Claim 8:
9. A robotic transport system comprising:
a robotic apparatus;
a multi-gripper assembly coupled to the robotic arm including:
a plurality of addressable vacuum regions, and
a manifold assembly configured to fluidically couple each of the addressable vacuum regions to at least one vacuum line such that each addressable vacuum region is capable of independently providing suction to hold a target object while the robotic apparatus moves the multi-gripper assembly carrying the target object; and

a controller programmed to operate the robotic arm, the multi-gripper assembly, or a combination thereof to:
press at least one selected addressable vacuum region of the plurality against the target object; and
dynamically adjust a pressure level of air flow through the at least one selected addressable vacuum region of to grip the target object.
