What 3D Cameras Let Robots See?

3D cameras enable robots to perceive depth, shape, and spatial relationships, allowing them to understand their environment in three dimensions. This capability is essential for tasks such as object detection, navigation, and precise handling. 

As robots take on more complex roles, they not only require more advanced control systems but also need to respond to changes in their surroundings with greater accuracy. Vision systems, offering dense and comprehensive information, have become the most critical sensory function in robotics. Among these, 3D cameras play a decisive role, making them a foundational component in modern robot perception.

A 3D camera using stereo structured light technology and AI algorithms can assist robots in identifying, locating, and grasping randomly stacked parts across a wide measurement depth range.

Unlike traditional 2D visual positioning methods, which can only identify parts at a fixed depth and gather partial position information, this machine vision application solution offers greater flexibility and a wider detection range.

3D vision offers more efficient and precise automated solutions for industrial challenges, including machine tool loading and unloading, parts sorting, and stacking.
