Watch: Pick and place of transparent objects using an ABB robot
Clear objects present challenges to 3D vision systems. Using Apera Vue, two 2D cameras and an ABB robot, the system can quickly pick and place these objects, even when they are highly disordered. Apera Vue works under ambient light, so no extra lighting hardware is needed, and if lighting conditions change, the system will continue to work.
