Hi everyone,
You probably have seen our sneak peek video on plug+play vision system for UR last week.
Now see more of the teaching interface in our exclusive official video for the Camera Kit for Universal Robots. This video will be released on June 21, so don’t share it outside of DoF!
Keep a look out for our public launch on June 21, 2016.
Enjoy!
@Kaleb_Rodes the robot decides which parts to pick next. The one being picked is the one which matches the best the pattern taught in the vision algorithm. Makes sense?

If objects are in touch (no overlap), they will be detected correctly. However, we do not check if the grip position is valid and as such it is not a scenario that we recommend for now. In the case of a grip position on the object which cannot produce collision (with the gripper or robot), this would work fine.

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?

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.
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.
Right now I updated the support website and you have a page with CAD files and preliminary spec sheet. More to come in July !

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:

Any general time schedule when the ur+(Caps) sw package will support multiple grippers?
Unfortunately we don't have a clear schedule for this functionality, but hopefully before 2017.
