Robot Picking
Many production processes involve intermediate conveying of produced parts. The parts typically need to be picked either from a container or from a conveyor belt and packaged for later shipping or for insertion into further production processes. To be able to pick and place parts with a robot, it is necessary to recognize their position and pose.
Especially when the parts reside either completely unorganized in a container or when they can arrive in many different positions and poses on a conveyor, it is necessary to apply 3D imaging to obtain a robust estimate for all of the object’s six degrees of freedom. SINTEF is currently working with the development of 3D imaging methods as well as robust pose estimation algorithms for pick and place applications.
