Cutting Edge Automation Manipulation - Bin-Picking Using 3D Vision

The robotics industry is growing - and fast. Predicted to hit $34 billion in the US this year, the robotics market is changing the way companies interact, factories assemble, and people work. The work behind these robots is no easy feat, it takes years, sometimes even decades to build the machines we rely on. So, why is robotic manipulation important, and how can it provide a cutting-edge solution within the industry?

In this article, Calvary invites guest Jared Glover, CEO of CapSen Robotics to discuss CapSen's history and its cutting-edge solution to bin picking within the industry. 

Discussion Highlights

• How CapSen was founded and the market research that went into growing their 3D vision and robotic manipulation capabilities.

• What 3D bin picking is and why it is so important within the industry.

• The challenges to the industry and what makes this technology cutting-edge.

"What's really challenging in a lot of cases is, you know, how do you get the robot to do everything that a person would be doing...how do you get the robot to do more complicated things with the objects after they get picked out of the bin?," said Glover. 

Jared Glover is the CEO and Co-founder of CapSen Robotics, an advanced 3D vision and motion planning software for industrial robot automation in Pittsburgh, PA. Glover is a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University, where he earned his B.S. in computer science, before heading to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to complete his PhD in computer science. 

As the robotics industry continues to experience rapid growth, the ability to perform precise and adaptable robotic manipulation is becoming increasingly crucial. Technologies like 3D vision and advanced motion planning are enabling robots to tackle complex tasks with greater dexterity and intelligence, unlocking new levels of efficiency and versatility across a wide range of industries. 

By investing in cutting-edge robotic manipulation solutions, companies can stay ahead of the curve, leveraging automation to streamline operations, improve product quality, and enhance their overall competitiveness in the market. As pioneers like CapSen Robotics continue to push the boundaries of what's possible, the future of the robotics industry remains bright and full of transformative potential.
