Bin Picking: Improvements of Vision Systems and Robotic End Effectors

One of the biggest challenges in robotic manufacturing is bin picking. Automating the bin picking task would produce a lot of savings for manufacturers. The numbers of human workers could be reduced, freeing them from monotonous and repetitious jobs. But, is a robot able to locate and pick individual pieces in a bin of random parts? We might not talk about completely random pieces yet, but “semi-random” bin picking is closer to a solution with all the new vision system technologies available.
