Hi everyone,
Here are questions we were asked during the vision system training about the presentation on the software of the Robotiq vision system
Feel free to ask other ones you may have in mind!

As of today, the robot's workplane has to be static in order for the Camera Locate feature to work. This feature allows you to do part detection and go pick the object with the orientation you taught it. This would be difficult to implement with a moving conveyor. The Wrist Camera takes snapshots of the workplane until it detects a part. It can then take actions with positions relative to the object's frame. If the object is placed on a moving conveyor, all the relative movements would not be possible.
This being said, we have not looked into the application with a moving conveyor yet. We are taking notes and will evaluate the feasibility!

What steps is UR and Robotiq taking to ensure that the camera software works well with future versions of Polyscope? In the past there have been problems where drivers don't work on the latest UR version, until Robotiq is able to release a new driver.
Are UR+ developers given alpha/beta access to new Polyscope releases to ensure they can develop updates ahead of time?

Simple example is a cylinder. If all we need to do is pick the object and move it (all we care about is location not orientation) then the system can choose the best way to pick the object. For something like a cube, it would just need to rotate +/- 45 degrees maximum to pick up the cube on a given side.
It might be very useful to have an OPTION in the wizard to choose whether the user cares about model orientation. Does this make sense?
As discussed by @PierreOlivier_Proulx, our team gets the beta versions for Polyscope before it is released. Thus, we are able to test our new URCaps and legacy driver packages with those beta versions.
Note that when a Robotiq version is released, it is compatible with the newest available Polyscope version.

Yes, it makes sense! For the first release, this kind of option will not be available. Therefore, for a circular object, or a square, the vision system will pick the part in the orientation it was taught.
It is definitely something we will want to look into!

The read and write process is not a concern for the 16G USB stick we provide, as it is not done often.

The TCP configuration will not affect the calibration process, nor the scanning process during the object teaching.

UR uses the same memory technology we use but they (my assuption) probably make much more writes than we do on their flash drive. Hence, I expect their drive to fail before ours.
