Description
The rc_visard sensor family enables robots to generate and process time and location-related data in real time. This plug-and-play machine vision solution is designed to support robotic applications ranging from bin-picking to navigation. The four versions of the rc_visard feature two different baselines (65 mm, 160 mm) and a color or monochrome acquisition capacity.
The rc_visard 160 color is optimized for applications that require a high precision at larger working distances. It is a good choice for static mounting above a scene as well as in mobile robotics applications, e.g. for navigation. As it features color differentiation capacities, the rc_visard 160 color is best applied in good lighting conditions.
Using ego-motion estimations (VINS), the rc_visards determine their position and orientation with millimetric precision and very low latencies. The passive stereo sensor works in natural and artificial light. Precise ego-motion data is generated reliably, even in case of vibrations.
All rc_visards come with the same on-board software package that can be further enhanced by optional components from the rc_reason software suite – e.g. SLAM, TagDetect or ItemPick. An intuitive web interface enables an easy set-up and configuration. Last, but not least, multiple sensors can easily operate without interference in the same work space.
