Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide an insight into the present-day state of bin picking by considering research, technology, products and applications.
Design/methodology/approach
Following a short introduction, this first provides examples of recent bin picking research. It then discusses a selection of commercial product developments and applications. Finally, brief conclusions are drawn.
Findings
Bin picking has the potential to eliminate repetitive, manual part handling practices in many sectors of the manufacturing and logistics industries. Systems combine robotic gripping and manipulation with machine vision and specialist software and tend to be complex to install and commission. They are produced by robot manufacturers, system integrators, software developers and machine vision specialists and all are constantly developing and improving the technology. These developments are supported by a strong academic research effort, much involving artificial intelligence methods, and while the technology is evolving rapidly, it is yet to reach the point where deployments are routine and widespread.
Originality/value
This provides a timely review of recent bin picking research and commercial developments.
期刊介绍:
Industrial Robot publishes peer reviewed research articles, technology reviews and specially commissioned case studies. Each issue includes high quality content covering all aspects of robotic technology, and reflecting the most interesting and strategically important research and development activities from around the world.
The journal’s policy of not publishing work that has only been tested in simulation means that only the very best and most practical research articles are included. This ensures that the material that is published has real relevance and value for commercial manufacturing and research organizations. Industrial Robot''s coverage includes, but is not restricted to:
Automatic assembly
