Advancements in Artificial Intelligence in Logistics Boost Asia Pacific Vision Guided Robotics Software Market
Vision guided robotics (VGR) is a rapidly emerging field in robotics and machine vision. While industrial robots are employed in a wide range of industries, the ability to steer a robot based on information from a machine vision system is allowing industrial robots to be utilized in a wider range of applications. The advancement of AI- integrated vision guided robotics software is highly used in logistics. Vision guided robotics has promising applications in the logistics industry. Simple singulation is a manual task in which mass-mixed objects are separated into single items before being introduced into a fully automated system that handles the sorting and routing.The bulk objects could be different-size packages, consumer items, or boxes, and the speeds required to justify a system's return on investment range from 500 to 1,500 singulated items per hour, depending on the application. Modern industrial robots are capable of achieving these speeds, but not traditional machine vision approaches. Given the needed production speeds, the robot must acquire a single item correctly each cycle.
This will be determined by the vision system's ability to split the scene and present the optimal location for the robot to choose from. Depending on the application and products, traditional machine vision algorithms can achieve segmentation success rates ranging from 80% to 95%. The vision system cannot recognize the items. Still, it can detect the borders between them and select a spot from where a suction cup or parallel gripper would effectively retrieve an item.
