Nieuwe robo-picker grijpt en verpakt

Today most industrial picking robots are designed for one specific, repetitive task.
However, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and Princeton are working to design robots as more flexible, adaptable, and intelligent pickers, for unstructured settings such as retail warehouses, where a picker may consistently encounter and have to sort hundreds, if not thousands of novel objects each day, often amid dense clutter.
The team’s design is based on two general operations: picking — the act of successfully grasping an object, and perceiving — the ability to recognize and classify an object, once grasped (Nieuwsbericht MIT, 1 februari 2018).
