Project Difficulties
The difficulties of this solution are as follows:
-
Positioning accuracy: The metal parts are small and randomly stacked in a deep bin. The vision system is required to generate high-quality point clouds and calculate the poses of small metal parts for high-accuracy positioning.
-
Picking strategy: For small metal parts that are randomly stacked and have different orientations, considering factors such as the pose of the metal parts, robot path constraints, and collision avoidance, the appropriate pick points and picking strategy should be selected to ensure the bin clearance rate.
-
Flexible and easy to use: Suitable for picking target objects of different specifications. The vision solution needs to be easy to deploy while meeting user requirements for efficiency, cost control, and other factors.
