Adding 3D machine vision to robots

So, unable to exercise the brain on the golf course, you’ve been wondering how to make use of vision guided robotics? Well take a gander at this interesting blog post: “Robots Use 3D Vision to Improve System Costs and Product Quality” (posted Thursday Feb 11th on the “Everything about Instrumentation Engineering” blog.)

This provides an introduction to where and when to combine machine vision with robotics. Machine loading, bin picking and inspection are all covered. Just one word of warning though: the integrators and salespeople quoted all make it sound rather straightforward. It’s not.
