Many systems require machine vision technology to be the “eyes” for the robot. This includes telling the robot which product to pick, where to place a part, or which object gets rejected and taken off the line. Successfully implementing a vision-guided robotic system involves 2D and/or 3D machine vision with advanced Hand-Eye Calibration to align the world-coordinate system of the robot to the camera. MVTec HALCON software has extensive support for Hand-Eye Calibration as well as all other vision algorithms for a successful project.
