The present invention relates to a sensor module for detecting unevenness of a surface, especially for detecting bulging and bowing of the pipe external surface. The sensor module comprises an arm assembly comprising an arm body having at least two ends, one or more surface contacting element mounted to at least one end of the arm body; a magnet assembly comprising at least one magnet to generate magnetic lines of force; and a magnetic sensor assembly comprising a magnetic sensor being assembled adjacent to the magnet for sensing changes in the magnetic lines of force in response to movement of the arm body. The invention also relates to an apparatus comprising the said sensor module and a method for detecting unevenness of a surface using the said sensor module.

A vacuum suction pen to take reliable hold of objects of different shapes without manual contact includes a holder with an air duct penetrating the holder. A first sleeve is sleeved on one end of the holder, and a first adsorption module is movably arranged on the first sleeve to move along a first direction. The first suction nozzle can move in the horizontal direction, the second nozzle can move in the vertical direction, and the third suction nozzle can rotate around the holder. The positions and relative positions of each suction nozzle on the product to be lifted and manipulated can be adjusted, so as to more accurately locate the center of gravity of products with irregular shapes or of uneven materials, and so as to secure a stable hold on the objects.

This document describes systems and methods for enhancing the efficiencies of order fulfillment and inventory management processes. For example, this document describes automated robotic systems that can autonomously pick and place a particular quantity of desired items from a container that is storing the items. The autonomous robotic systems can thereby facilitate order fulfillment and inventory management processes in an efficient manner. In particular, the systems and methods described herein can greatly reduce the amount of time required for a human worker to pick orders. Accordingly, the efficiency of item picking processes, as measured by the number of line items picked per human labor hour for example, is greatly enhanced.

A retainer apparatus configured to releasably retain an article, comprising a face plate member each having a front face; a plurality of vacuum cups and a plurality of support pins each extending distally relative to the front face, respectively; wherein the vacuum cups and the support pins are laterally spaced from one another; wherein the plurality of vacuum cups retain the article to the retainer apparatus in a presence of vacuum; wherein the plurality of support pins are extendable/retractable relative to the face plate member, wherein each of the support pins have a longitudinal axis, respectively, and are configured to contact the article to support the article against movement along the longitudinal axis and support the article against movement transverse to the longitudinal axis; and a locking mechanism configured to inhibit the support pins from being retractable and extendable when the locking mechanism is engaged.

Disclosed is a device for the automatic removal of rejected eggs from an incubation tray, whereby the device includes a suction power above the egg to suck up the egg, and the device further includes a blowing power against the bottom of the egg to blow away the egg, whereby the blowing power blows an air flow or overpressure against the bottom of the egg. Also disclosed is a method for the automatic removal of one or more rejected eggs from an incubation tray.

A robotically-operated gripping device is provided and includes a frame assembly, a vacuum device, a clamping device, and a robotic arm. The vacuum device is connected to the frame assembly and configured to selectively attach to and position at least a portion of an object. The clamping device is connected to the frame assembly and provided for selectively clamping the object attached to the vacuum device. The robotic arm is connected to the frame assembly and provided for selectively positioning the vacuum device and the gripping device.
