When it comes to the successful deployment of a robotic system for your application, less variation in the process usually translates to a substantially higher probability for success. This especially holds true when machine vision systems are employed. Vision systems often require controlled lighting and lensing with repeatable target presentation to effectively perform the task they’ve been selected for, such as measuring, counting, or inspecting. End effectors, or end-of-arm robotic tooling, may often rely on a repeatable presentation of their subject in order to correctly manipulate it. In this article from MIT Technology Review, a contest sponsored by Amazon is profiled that seeks to push the boundaries of machine vision and robotic manipulators in order to better function in their fulfillment centers. The engineers at Intellimech are highly skilled at engineering and integrating the latest vision systems and customized end-of-arm tooling for your specific application to help you capture success.
