Robot Vision

The aim of robot vision is to make a wide range of robot platforms able to interact with the world around them through visual inputs.

Contact person

With Robot Vision, robots can be used in applications with more variations in tasks and environment. Topics range from object detection for robot grasping in manufacturing to collision detection for mobile robots in the field, and everything in between.

 

Our expertise in this field covers:

  • 3D and 2D object detection/localization
  • Grasping, Bin picking 
  • Inspection
  • Robust AI solutions for automation
  • Digital Twin
  • Navigation for mobile robots
  • Motion planning and collision avoidance
  • Outdoor 3D sensing

A friendly robot

A friendly robot

Researchers have developed a robot that adjusts its movements in order to avoid colliding with the people and objects around it. This provides new opportunities for more friendly interaction between people and machines.

Eagle-eyed robots

Eagle-eyed robots

The robots of the future must be able to adapt to changes in their surroundings. Some of them will be in close contact with people. At the very least they must be able to see properly – in three dimensions, just like us.
