How InPicker Works


Precision Through Process

InPicker delivers reliable automation through a systematic approach.Each step is optimized for accuracy and efficiency in industrial environments. Here’s how it works:

Scene Capture

An advanced 2D/3D camera captures detailed images of the parts and workspace

3D Environment Mapping

The 3D image obtained is used to interpret the environment in three dimensions, making it possible to differentiate the objects of interest and determine potential obstacles.

Part Detection

Parts are detected in the scene by determining their 3D orientation (x, y, z) and their different rotations (roll, pitch, yaw).

Intelligent Grip Point Selection

All possible perspectives in which the robot can grasp the detected parts are calculated.

Collision-Free Operation

Among all the gripping poses, those that could pose a risk of collision in the robot's trajectory are sifted out and discarded.

Part Extraction

After selecting the most suitable part, the robot removes it precisely and safely.

Placement Validation

The destination is checked to ensure that it is free of obstacles and the part is positioned or inserted into the next process.

Production Monitoring

Built-in tracking provides detailed performance data for continuous process optimization.

Key Technologies

  • Multiple detection methods including CAD matching and teach-by-demonstration
  • Deep learning capabilities for complex part recognition
  • Flexible vision system supporting various camera configurations
  • Industrial-grade control system for reliable operation
