Looks great! Ur-Baxter is coming!! Compliments. I'm very curious to see interface

@JeanPhilippe_Jobin Does the camera recognize the parts in a random order for the robot to pick? Or is there a way to set which part gets picked up first, second, etc.?

@Samuel_Bouchard Yes, so a best fit scenario. Thanks!

What about if some part to be picked are overlapped or are in touch?

He is cool. I want to try it! :)

@Enric you'll be among the first to get one! Thank you again for arranging the feedback interviews with your customers, you contributed to this product! 

Looking forward to seeing this first hand next week.  How quickly does it recognize the part?  We have a potential couple of applications coming up where this could be very useful

Hi Matt,

A typical wait time would be 0.5 to 1 sec (worst case scenario), but it varies depending on your part features and background. Could you tell us a bit more about the parts or send a picture?

Now that you got the 2d world covered, go on and develop a low cost 3D plug and play wrist camera for real 3d bin picking :-)
sort of like this one: http://www.pickit3d.com but only better and cheaper :-)

@markus_rothtechnik

• Did you ever get the chance to try this pickit solution? Any comments? What do you mean by "better"?
• What do you personally consider the big challenges for bin picking?

I think It will be good to have a documents with sw functionality or, better, a manual. Is there something available right now? We are placing some offer right now and customer are asking different questions...

@facchifunk we are working on it! In the mean time, you can get the spec sheet here: http://robotiq.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/specsheet-camera-EN-June2016-final.pdf

@JeanPhilippe_Jobin
yes i did, and they were also at automatica last week. Better means better resolution, better price, better accuracy. Interface, ease of use is great with pick it. However 14000 euros are not that great. 
Greatest challenge for bin picking is probably object detection algorythm , light conditions, and the options available for object/surface/target detection, filtering, "make good use" of the point cloud data the cam delivers. This requires some serious calculation power especiall w high res. And of course plug and play integration with the robot is key. Pick it is great, but i think the prices of 3d cam kits will drop and resolution and functionalit will increase seriously in the future. Or at least i hope.

Question: can i use the camera with two robotiq grippers on one ur bot? Of course i would have to make an adapter to connect them all correctly to the bus but would it technically be possible and supported by robotiq?
i have a great idea for making a universal gripper witj object detection for an injection moulding machine. If it works it would be fantastic since my customer would not need 10 different magazines for his inlay parts but only a flat surface where the vam can locate them on. Thank you for feedback and possibly instrucrions on how to equip a UR with two grippers and a cam.

@markus_rothtechnik
Thanks for the precisions/comments on pickit3d.

About the use of multi-grippers with Robotiq Camera, it was not design for this but it would work. But please note that:

• Each gripper shall be cabled with original 2F cable (would not work with camera cable)
• The grippers shall not be seen by the camera. I suggest a "Y" or a "T" configuration.
• Grippers shall be programmed using multi-grippers beta drivers (since 2F gripper URCaps does not support multi-grippers yet)

Great thanks! That was great help and great news.
Any general time schedule when the ur+(Caps) sw package will support multiple grippers?

@markus_rothtechnik

Unfortunately we don't have a clear schedule for this functionality, but hopefully before 2017.
