Scenario - Vision Guided Sanding

Robot Guidance

Robot guidance systems with 3D vision are about taking robots and automation to a new level of capability. This system is unleashing innovation in areas where robots were previously uncommon: gluing, welding, sanding, and surface finishing are some of the many difficult manipulation tasks robot guidance systems can now perform. It demands more human-like capabilities including highly accurate and flexible, robot-mounted 3D sensing capabilities.

Challenges & Solutions

Typical robot-guided applications replicate skilled human tasks. These tasks often rely on extensive experiential knowledge and sometimes an element of educated intuition. Therefore, they have been hard to emulate and automate. A convergence of complementary technologies is making demanding skilled tasks using robots and 3D vision a possibility. These technologies include highly adaptive deep learning techniques, sophisticated motion-planning, and the human-like 3D vision capabilities of the robot-mounted Zivid 2+ industrial 3D camera.
