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.
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 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.

Best price/performance of any 3D solution
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.
