Kinect in Industrial Robotic Application

We've already discussed how the Microsoft Kinect can be used in robotic mobile manipulation. See the following video showing what is to my knowledge, one of the first commercial integrations of the Kinect with an industrial robot. Signal from standard webcams is also used. Software from Universal Robotics crunches the data to obtain a 3D representation of the scene. The application shown is the palletizing of randomly placed boxes with Motoman robots.
