Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
selecting at least one of a plurality of addressable vacuum regions of a gripper assembly of a transport robot based on one or more target objects within a group of objects, wherein the gripper assembly is a multi-gripper assembly having the plurality of addressable vacuum regions that are independently controllable;
generating commands and/or settings to cause the transport robot to:
contact the one or more target objects with at least one of the plurality of addressable vacuum regions;
draw air through the at least one of the plurality of addressable vacuum regions;
dynamically adjusting a pressure level of air flow through the at least one of the plurality of addressable vacuum regions to grip the one or more target objects using the selected at least one of the plurality of addressable vacuum regions; and
robotically move the multi-gripper assembly to transport the gripped one or more target objects away from other objects in the group.
