Project Difficulties
The difficulties of this solution are as follows:
-
Random stacked: The bent sheet metal parts with complex structures are randomly stacked in the bin. Since the sheet metal parts are interlinked or reflective and the camera imaging is susceptible to environmental factors, the vision system is required to generate high-quality point clouds and calculate the poses of the sheet metal parts.
-
Path Planning: For randomly stacked sheet metal parts, considering the robot path constraints, collision avoidance, and other factors, the appropriate robot tool and pick points should be selected to ensure the bin clearance rate.
-
Flexible and easy to use: Suitable for picking sheet metal parts of different specifications. The vision solution needs to be easy to deploy while meeting user requirements for efficiency, cost control, and other factors.
