It is becoming an annual tradition: Roboception once again hosts a workshop during the European Robotics Forum.
About the Workshop
Perception is one of the key technologies for flexible production, including applications such as pick and place, machine tending, assembly, finishing, and quality testing. Applications in domains outside traditional manufacturing scenarios are in general more challenging, but the COVID pandemic has highlighted the need to use automation in environments where the health risks for humans are too high, e.g. test sampling and processing facilities.
The introduction of robotics in human-dominated environments demands a fast adaptability of the system. Recent developments in 3D object detection and pose estimation algorithms as well as machine learning opened up new ways in these challenging domains.
Therefore, the combination of machine learning and classical methods aim at providing reliability, robustness and flexibility at the same time to fulfill the requirements. This connection of these methods with innovative perception approaches show great potential for coping with requirements in lab automation, agile production and smart logistics.
In this workshop, use cases from industry are presented and then discussed in an interactive session with the attendees. The main goal is to create synergies and potential collaborations between researchers and industry, to facilitate the introduction of recent perception technologies into new scenarios.
This year’s HANNOVER MESSE – a digital edition – takes place on April 12 to 16 – and Roboception is of course involved with a digital presence.
Our 2021 highlight is the CADMatch Module: Enable your robotic system to reliably detect, localize and pick objects from unmixed load carriers, fully independent of the object‘s position and orientation: Simply feed a CAD-based template into the CADMatch Module, define one (or several) grasp point(s) on your object with just a few mouse clicks, and easily deliver task-relevant information for your robotic application.
