How InPicker Works
Scene Capture
An advanced 2D/3D camera captures detailed images of the parts and workspace
3D Environment Mapping
The 3D image obtained is used to interpret the environment in three dimensions, making it possible to differentiate the objects of interest and determine potential obstacles.
Part Detection
Parts are detected in the scene by determining their 3D orientation (x, y, z) and their different rotations (roll, pitch, yaw).
Intelligent Grip Point Selection
All possible perspectives in which the robot can grasp the detected parts are calculated.
Collision-Free Operation
Among all the gripping poses, those that could pose a risk of collision in the robot's trajectory are sifted out and discarded.
Part Extraction
After selecting the most suitable part, the robot removes it precisely and safely.
Placement Validation
The destination is checked to ensure that it is free of obstacles and the part is positioned or inserted into the next process.
Production Monitoring
Built-in tracking provides detailed performance data for continuous process optimization.
