ROBOTIC PICKING OF PARTS FROM A PARTS HOLDING BIN

摘要

A robot system (10) for picking parts (41) from a bin (40) use the image from one or more cameras (38) to determine if the robot gripper (24) has picked one part or more than one part and uses one or more images from one or more cameras (38) to determine the position / orientation of a picked part. If the robot (12) has picked more than one part from the bin (40) then an attempt is made to return the excess picked parts to the bin (40). The position / orientation of a picked part that does not meet a predetermined criteria is changed.
