It's easy for a human to reach into a bin and pick up a screw without hitting an arm on the bin edge. A robot needs precise motion planning to reach into the bin at the correct angle and grip the right part. With proper preparation, the robot can relieve humans of tedious, monotonous bin-picking work – and do so reliably, quickly and without tiring. For precise calculation of these picking parameters, KUKA partnered with vision expert Roboception to develop a technology package that's easy to integrate into the production process with no major programming effort.
