Spatial Vision Robotics

Universal Robotics Spatial Vision™ Robotics


Spatial Vision Robotics delivers real-time 3D object recognition and vision guidance. It locates objects, boxes, cases, and parts and provides 3D position (X,Y,Z) and pose (Rx,Ry,Rz) for real-time guidance of robots and machines.

Robot Automatically Depalletizes Random Boxes using Spatial Vision Robotics 2.2Spatial Vision Robotics

In this demonstration, Spatial Vision Robotics 2.2 is using inexpensive 3D imaging sensors to locate in real-time the centroid of randomly-placed boxes. It is integrated with a Motoman MH50 robot equipped with a vacuum end effector to pick up the dynamically placed boxes and set them on a conveyor. The standard system is handling nine boxes per minute without any speed enhancements.


Spatial Vision Robotics


Spatial Vision Robotics delivers scalable 3D vision guidance for any robot using a wide variety of 3D sensors. It delivers market leading price/performance vision guidance by providing just the right mix of webcams, USB or GigE cameras, and structured light sensors.

Universal offers three sensor suite resolutions – standard (± 5.0mm accuracy), enhanced (± 2.5mm accuracy), and premium (± 0.5mm accuracy) to fit the requirements of the task. It provides 3D pattern matching to determine true position and pose information. When combined with PC hardware, you have a complete vision guidance system integrated with your robotic application. This solution can identify, pick and place objects at 10 – 12 per minute.

Note: Spatial Vision Robotics is also sold through Yaskawa Motoman Robotics as MotoSight 3D Spatial Vision. Click here for more information.

Key Applications


Spatial Vision Robotics is offered with numerous applications from Universal:
• Random box moving
• Mixed depalletization
• Random bin picking
• Random bag picking
• Random part inspection

These applications enable identification and movement of an object in any location. Optionally, up to 3 objects can be identified and moved as well. Should additional intelligence be needed to identify objects never seen before, Spatial Vision Robotics integrates with Universal’s Neocortex™, the Software with an IQ™.

Additional throughput may be achieved by implementing Universal’s Autonomy product – which provides automated robot programming – a huge time saver when fine tuning complex motion control for high speed motion.
