We give robots the capability to see.

Robots are already executing tasks that are difficult, impossible, or exceedingly tedious for people in numerous industries today. They are generally faster than people and provide constant quality and reliability. However, because a robot can only do a certain task in a limited range of motion, the areas of applicability are constrained. Computer vision can help robots become “smarter” and expand their applications. Basler has extensive experience in the field of computer vision. We give robots the ability to see.

 

Detection and localisation of objects

Robotic applications that are guided by a vision system do not require precise object location. If an object is within the given working space, the robot can identify, localize, and pick it.

 

Object identification and sorting

Guidance by a vision system enables the robotic application to sort based on object identification. Each object can trigger an individual action, e.g. sorting into different categories.

Explore New Possibilities Thanks to Vision-guided Robotics

Robots with the ability to see can execute jobs that would otherwise take a lot of time, effort, and money.

Vision-guided robotics can be used in a variety of applications.

 

Transport and Material Handling

Pick-and-place, labeling, palletizing, packaging, and material transfer are all possible with vision-guided robotics. Increased flexibility, improved staff collaboration, and dependable operation are just a few of the potential advantages. obotics.

 

Quality Assurance and Process Control

All of these applications, including part inspection, metrology, classification, assembly, and machine tending, require imaging for a robust and safe implementation. Higher accuracy, throughput, and downtime can all be achieved with the correct robotic vision system.

 

For vision Experts

For robot applications, vision technology is becoming increasingly important. You, as a vision expert, are undoubtedly well aware of this. We teach you how to successfully mix both technologies in this article.

 

Extensice Portfolio

• VGA to 24 MP resolution cameras are available.
• Cameras with a global shutter are best for applications involving moving objects, while cameras with a rolling shutter are better for budget-conscious applications.
• 3D imaging with Time-of-Flight cameras is precise and cost-effective.
• Compatible components include lenses and illumination that are appropriate for the purpose, as well as drag chain cables.

 

Robotics-Compilant Interface

• USB 3.0 standard interface with high throughput
• If the camera is situated outside the arm (off-arm), slightly offset or further distant, use the GigE interface.
• All common industrial PCs and embedded systems, as well as many robot controllers, support both interfaces.

Set up Your Vision System

• ROS compatibility: The Robot Operating System (ROS) assures that all components are compatible, which includes our cameras.
• Drag&bot as a manufacturer-agnostic middleware – when used in conjunction with the drag&bot software, integrating vision into your robot application is a breeze.
• Integration with a wide range of well-known and current robotic systems (Epson, ABB, TM)
