Since our last update we have been working on further improvements to our vision algorithms and on a brand new end effector design.
The new end effector uses vacuum technology to be able to pick a wide variety of objects. The long and narrow design allows us to pick up objects from the back of the shelf and allows us to pick objects from the top and the side.
The freshly arrived Kiva shelf comes in handy for testing these improvements.
Please see the video below for our proof of concept tests for the vision and end effector design:
Hi Guys,
ReplyDeleteNice video! Your design looks very promising, especially when picking from the back of the shelf. I can expect that the items at the back of the shelf are quite demanding on the quality/robustness of your vision algorithm.
Keep up the good work!

Hej,
ReplyDeleteThanks!
The robustness of our vision algorithm will indeed be one of the main focus points, it will require a lot of testing in the following months.
Cheers,
Berend
