AI Powered 3D Vision System for Robotic Pick&Place Applications

Vision cycle less than 2s

In a customer challenge, injection molding machines produced four parts every 12s. The parts were dropped randomly on top of each other on a work table of 800x600mm effectively creating a 3D bin-sorting environment from which the robot was supposed to pick the parts and sort them into different bins. Given the speed of production, a full vision cycle of less than 2s was required. Large FoV and dark and shiny finish of the parts made it impossible for existing structured light cameras to achieve the time requirements. Using VCV-Cortex L, the manufacturing company was able to achieve a full cycle time of 1.7s which enabled them to relax some of their requirements for the type of robot they wanted to use and automate a physically demanding tedious job and save significantly on their costs.

Summary

VCV-Cortex is an AI powered stereovision system that offers fully integrated pipeline for 3D vision, object recognition and pose estimation developed exclusively for robotic pick&place operations. Due to its passive nature, it outperforms structured light cameras where it matters and enables robots to perform more challenging pick&place operations at a much faster speed.
