While machine vision applications have been highly successful for decades using “analytical” vision tools, deep learning is able to successfully solve very complex classification and object detection problems with ease.
Using a high-quality 3D camera, the robot can locate the part, regardless of orientation, and provide pick coordinates to the robot.
The wavelengths used in any machine vision application have significant implications in choosing the most appropriate lens.
As telecentric lenses become more compact, the overall footprint of vision systems will follow.
The industry is growing faster than ever, and there are a lot of new trends to be aware of, says A3 President Jeff Burnstein, including mobile robots, AI and the rise of automation.
