Robot Guidance

What is robot guidance?

Robot guiding refers to the use of robots, equipped with high-quality 3D vision systems, to perform skilled tasks traditionally carried out by humans, with comparable levels of precision and quality. It includes processes such as welding, metal-based additive manufacturing, and complex surface treatment and finishing operations. These tasks often involve parts with intricate geometries, commonly found in manufacturing and assembly lines.

To handle such challenges, robot guiding demands advanced, human-like capabilities, including highly accurate and flexible 3D sensing mounted directly on the robot.

Other 3D vision solutions

❌ Insufficient dynamic range prevents capturing complete point clouds of the workpiece.

❌ Struggles with highly reflective or dark materials due to imaging artifacts.

❌ A statically mounted camera cannot image from optimal positions or angles.

❌ Harsh working environments hinder reliable 3D camera calibration.
