A part verification system includes sensors for detecting tapes, a reader which reads identification information from a recording part provided to a reel, and a memory part which stores part verification information. The system further includes a part verification part which performs verification updating processing for determining whether or not the tape is mounted on the tape feeder at the set position corresponding to the identification information, and updating tape presence or absence information at the set position when the tape is mounted, a tape monitoring part for determining whether or not the tape is mounted with respect to each tape feeder during a period which differs from a period where the verification updating processing is performed, and a notification part which performs notification to request reading of the identification information relating to the tape from the recording part when the tape is mounted on the tape feeder.

An autonomous storage and retrieval tower with dynamic resizing of available space is discussed.

Systems and methods are provided for managing a robotic assistant. Environment data corresponding to a current environment is collected to determine a type of the current environment based on the collected environment data. One or more objects in the current environment are detected. The one or more objects are associated with the type of the current environment. For each of the one or more objects, one or more interactions are identified based on a type of the respective object and the type of the current environment. Object libraries corresponding to the one or more objects are downloaded. The object libraries include interaction data corresponding to the respective identified one or more interactions. At least a portion of the one or more interactions are executed upon the respective one or more objects.

This disclosure includes an item storage and retrieval device comprising one or more stacked circular disks, each disk having a slot on its radius to the center and rotating on a central column such that, when slots on higher disks are aligned, a target disk may be accessed below for item storage or retrieval; which device may further comprise a disk item access unit for placement, orientation, and retrieval; which device may further comprise one or more RFID readers; and which device may further comprise a system and interface for managing and optimizing item storage to and retrieval from stacked circular disks.
