Pick and place activity refers to a fundamental robotic task involving the automated manipulation of objects. The process typically begins with a robotic arm, equipped with a gripper or end-effector, locating a specific item. This item is then securely grasped by the gripper. Once the object is held, the robotic arm moves it to a predetermined destination. Finally, the gripper releases the object at the new location, completing the cycle.

This activity is a cornerstone of automation in various industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing. It is crucial for tasks such as assembling products, sorting components, packaging goods, and moving items along production lines. The precision and speed of pick and place robots significantly contribute to increased efficiency, reduced labor costs, and improved product quality. The design of the gripper, the accuracy of the robot's movements, and the programming that dictates the path and timing are all critical factors for successful pick and place operations. Different types of grippers, such as vacuum cups, clamps, or magnetic end-effectors, are chosen based on the characteristics of the object being handled, including its size, shape, weight, and surface properties.
