Dual Arm Warehouse Picking Using Robotiq Gripper

At the last (and first) Amazon Picking Challenge, we saw different prototypes of robots trying to grab objects from shelves to do warehouse pick and place. A lot of different techniques were used. In fact, we saw: vacuum cups, single armed robots, dual-armed robots, grippers, 3D vision, 2D vision and everything inbetween. Since it was a contest, it was generally at a very experimental level. However, the industry is pushing this field and it won't be long until warehouse picking will be a regular thing.
