Vision guided robots are enjoying growing success in industry, thanks to their adaptability to unstructured contexts and applications. In typical bin-picking applications, a robot is guided to pick known rigid objects randomly placed inside a container. Given the objects' CAD models, it is possible to accurately estimate the object pose and to perform the grasp synthesis in a closed form. Unfortunately, in logistics, as in many other sectors, robotcs are required to manipulate polymorphic and deformable objects. In this work, we present a complete robotized pick and place solution for logistics able to address these challenges related to the variability of shapes of the objects. It exploits a model-less data-driven approach to bin-picking to detect boxes and parcels both randomply placed in containers or palletized. The proposed system will be easily adaptable to a wide range of applications, thus greatly improving its potential impact.

Abstract
Vision guided robots are enjoying growing success in industry, thanks to their adaptability to unstructured contexts and applications. In typical bin-picking applications, a robot is guided to pick known rigid objects randomly placed inside a container. Given the objects' CAD models, it is possible to accurately estimate the object pose and to perform the grasp synthesis in a closed form. Unfortunately, in logistics, as in many other sectors, robotcs are required to manipulate polymorphic and deformable objects. In this work, we present a complete robotized pick and place solution for logistics able to address these challenges related to the variability of shapes of the objects. It exploits a model-less data-driven approach to bin-picking to detect boxes and parcels both randomply placed in containers or palletized. The proposed system will be easily adaptable to a wide range of applications, thus greatly improving its potential impact.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
