Classification: CPC B  G | IPC B  G

Claim 4:
5. A system comprising:
a support structure for supporting an object, the support structure having a compressible surface that is non-planar;
a sensor oriented towards the support structure;
a robotic manipulator configured to grasp the object; and
a controller configured to:
determine sensor data from the sensor indicative of the support structure and the object;
determine a property of the support structure based on the sensor data;
determine a first location on the object for grasping the object based on the sensor data;
determine a force and an angle for the robotic manipulator to grasp the object based on the first location on the object and the property of the support structure; and
cause the robotic manipulator to grasp the object at the first location on the object using the force and the angle,

wherein the property of the support structure corresponds to a compression value of the support structure.
