ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods of identifying and manipulating objects are disclosed. One system disclosed comprises a light source adapted to emit a collimated light beam onto a contoured surface, a sensor adapted to view a profile of the contoured surface illuminated by the collimated light beam, a processor in communication with the sensor, and a controller in communication with the processor. The controller may be adapted to generate a signal based on an attribute of a predefined profile.
