Abstract:
An end effector system is disclosed for a robotic system that includes a primary acquisition system that includes a primary end effector, and a secondary retention system that substantially surrounds at least a portion of the primary acquisition system, wherein at least a portion of the primary acquisition system may be drawn up within at least a portion of the secondary retention system such that the primary end effector system may be used to select an object from a plurality of objects, and the secondary retention system may be used to secure the object for rapid transport to an output destination.

Claim (Index 29):
An end effector system for use in a programmable motion system, said end effector system comprising:\n an end effector of a primary acquisition system for engaging an object along a first direction and for moving the object using a vacuum along a second direction that is generally opposite the first direction; and a secondary retention system for engaging the object through application of forces along third directions that are generally orthogonal to the first and second directions, said secondary retention system being independent of the primary acquisition system such that movement of the secondary retention system is not dependent on engagement or movement of the primary acquisition system, and such that the object is releasable from the primary acquisition system to the secondary retention system once the object is engaged by the secondary retention system and is releasable from the secondary retention system, wherein the vacuum is provided using a conduit of air at other than atmospheric pressure, said conduit being spaced from the secondary retention system along the third directions.
