Workshop: Towards Applied AI in Agile Production, Logistics and Lab Automation

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.

Have a look (click): HANNOVER MESSE Digital Edition

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. You'd like to browse through HANNOVER MESSE? Contact us for a digital ticket code (free). For your personal demo of the CADMatch Module, please book your individual time slot online.

[WEBINAR] Not a Vision Expert? Not a Problem!

The implementation of smart automation solutions is at the top of your agenda this year? We may be able to help: Reliable vision solutions are the key to increasing flexibility and efficiency. Bin picking, machine tending and the quick adaptation to new tasks or workpieces: Roboception offers complete hardware and software systems, that have been tailored to robotic applications. Learn more in our webinar In our 1-hour webinar, let us introduce our innovative portfolio, from the rc_visard stereo sensor to the latest addition to our rc_reason software suite: The CADMatch Module, which localizes objects independent of their position and orientation, and reliably delivers grasp points while avoiding collisions with the load carrier or other objects. Not a vision expert? Not a problem! Our user interface is easy and intuitive to handle: Even without any prior experience in robot vision, you'll be able to deliver e.g. grasp points to your robot in no time!
