Roboception: Our Company

In April 2015, Roboception is founded by three former employees of the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics at the German Aerospace Center (DLR).

In September 2015, Roboception enters a strategic partnership with a major robot manufacturer.

In December 2015, Roboception has already outgrown its first office space and moves into a new office in Munich-Pasing.

Roboception wins the CODE_n Contest 2016 in the category Photonics 4.0 with its 3D-perception solutions for robot systems.

Roboception introduces the world’s first smart 3D stereo sensor rc_visard and accompanying software applications.

The Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping (SLAM) Algorithm for the rc_visard is launched, enhancing the visual odometry with a SLAM-based environment app.

The world-renowned design prize iF DESIGN AWARD is awarded to the rc_visard.

The rc_visard is part of TGW's "Rovolution" piece picking system, enabling 1.000 picks per hour.

The TagDetect software component of our rc_reason suite is launched: a highly efficient way of identifying and localizing labelled objects.

Roboception publishes rc_visard_ros, a meta package for the ROS interface for the rc_visard 3D stereo sensor and accompanying software components.

The ItemPick software module of our rc_reason suite is launched: a solution for robotic pick-and-drop applications using suction grippers.

Roboception receives the "Innovationspreis Bayern" (Bavarian Innovation Award) in the Start-Up Category for exceptionally innovative achievements.

Roboception, together with the responsible industrial designer Tilo Wuesthoff, wins an award in the Red Dot Award: Product Design 2019. 

Roboception launches the GenICam-compatible software library SGM®Producer for high-speed off-board image processing.

Roboception makes robotic machine tending easier than ever with the rc_reason SilhouetteMatch module for pick-and-place applications.

Roboception‘s 3D stereo vision products and innovative rc_reason software modules are now fully compatible with Universal Robots through a URCap.

Roboception launches rc_reason CADMatch, an AppliedAI solution for the reliable detection of objects based on a previously taught CAD model.

MATRIX VISION, now part of Balluff, expands its product portfolio through the cooperative venture with Roboception. This partnership continues even after their integration with Balluff.

Roboception launches the UserSpace feature, a unique coupling of vendor software with user-specific extensions on the same hardware platform.

Roboception expands its range of high-performance sensors for industrial 3D image processing in robotics by adding the rc_viscore high-resolution 3D stereo sensor to its product portfolio.

Roboceptions AppliedAI-solutions are an integral part of the KUKA.SmartBinPicking technology package.

Roboception’s vision solutions become part of the Franka ecosystem.

Hannover-based voraus robotik GmbH and Roboception combine application-oriented 3D perception with a generic robot operating system.

Roboception launches the rc_visard NG 3D stereo vision platform and sets new standards in flexible automation.
