Bin picking
Factories around the world are full of bins with randomly placed parts waiting to go to the next production step. Picking parts from a bin was traditionally hard to automate. It is quite a task to make a robot pick randomly sorted objects out of a bin and place them in a different location in an aligned position.
There is little discussion on how to climb up to a solution:
- Detect parts position and orientation with high reliability.
- Select the ones your robot can reach and your gripper can handle.
- Execute the motion from pick-up to drop-off
At Pickit, we are focusing on step 1 and 2 and having step 3 done by the robot software.
