Increasing robot productivity

摘要

Control Engineering UK looks at how advanced sensing solutions can help increase robot productivity. Vision-guided robotics (VGR) is fast becoming an enabling technology for the automation of many different processes within a range of industries. Object recognition technology gives the ability to identify different items, based on their three-dimensional geometry. Whether the process involves loose, mixed, irregular parts, sacks or bags, equipping a robot with an area sensor provides an efficient solution that can be quickly adapted to handle different products.
