Bin Picking and Random Bin Picking

Automate Bin Picking with a cobot. Bin Picking is one of the most sought after applications for cobots. And it is also the most difficult to implement. Cobots can be programmed very easily to pick up something at a specific location. It becomes more difficult when objects that the robot arm has to grab are mixed and overlap in a container. Yet there is also a solution for this: cameras and software, or a vision system.

Bin Picking by Machine Learning

By combining the robot arm with a 3D vision system, it is possible to show the cobot depth and to recognize objects.

Just like an employee, the cobot can take individual products from a container and add them to an assembly or production process. The cobot can handle products independently, without employees having to perform the often physically demanding movements.

The software required to have a cobot perform bin picking tasks is Machine Learning: recognizing objects by colour, shape, dimensions. The machine must be taught what a product looks like (from all angles).

Random Bin Picking

With Random Bin Picking, the software needs to learn (or already knows) a lot of different products. Those different products, which are mixed together in a container, can be recognized, located and grabbed by the cobot.
