MIT Robotics - Aaron Parness - Stowing and Picking Items in E-Commerce 

I'm an inventor that's started to work on industrial robotics. IMO, the problem with the bin packing robot is that you haven't deconstructed the problem to take advantage of a robot's strength. For instance, one advantage could be a very long arm. So, rather than place the items into the bin, as a human would, the items are placed from the top of the bin. That is, they're placed in order from bottom to top. This can only be possible if a robot has a large arm. There are other advantages such as the use of gravity to filter and push the items together, that only a robot could do that a human can't. In any case, thanks for the presentation.

😂 we've come full circle
