3D Stereo Sensor rc_visard & software modules

This advanced robot vision solution enables your UR to reliably identify, locate, pick and place objects e.g. from pallets or bins, independent of their position and orientation (i.e. unstructured). An intuitive user interface supports a time and cost-efficient installation and maintenance even by roboticists with little or no vision experience, A full compatibility with Universal Robots is ensured through a URCap. Tailored software modules optimize the 3D stereo sensor’s capabilities for individual applications such as bin picking, precise placement, machine tending or (de)palletizing. On-board processing capabilities save space and cost of external computing resources.

Roboception’s ‘UR Pick Package’ contains a sensor and software component of choice, the URCap, a tailored calibration grid, and a set of cables  

Configure an application with your UR robot and an rc_visard without writing any code: Follow our extensive UR tutorials (including a sample program) and perform the most relevant settings for the rc_visard on your UR teach pendant, which also displays the live image and detection results. For more advanced settings, the highly intuitive web interface of the rc_visard makes it easy to achieve the best detection results and efficient grasp points.  

Depending on the type of object, a specific software module will generate the grasp points and directly communicate them to the robot controller, ensuring an effective grasp order.
