Considerations taken for Camera Selector

On-Arm mounting

The camera has to be mounted on a robot in such a position that it can see the entire length and width of the bin top during capture. At this position, the gripper needs to be entirely outside of the bin. The camera also has to be mounted far enough away from the gripper tip so it does not collide with the bin edges during picking. This should hold even when picking at an angle, e.g., 45 degrees.

Stationary mounting

The robot must have enough clearance to move between the camera and the bin freely without colliding with the camera. The total distance of clearance to the bin top depends on several elements. The first one is the total gripper length. The gripper must be entirely above the bin before entering the bin. The second element is the largest height of the object in the pose the robot is taking it out from the bin. If the robot picks the object up using, e.g., a mechanical gripper, the object will be suspended from the gripper. The robot must move the object above and across the bin edge, not colliding with the bin’s edge during robot motion. Lastly, there is the camera size and some safety margin.

Stationary Piece Picking setup

Spatial resolution

Spatial resolution is an important factor when selecting the distance of imaging. To find spatial resolution requirements, we need to consider the smallest object feature to be seen at the largest desired distance of imaging. As an exercise, let us take a cube of 1 cm x 1 cm in size. A spatial resolution of 1 mm gives 8-10 points in each dimension, which is 64-100 points. This number of points should be sufficient to detect the object from the point cloud and estimate its pick pose. To be safe, we recommend a spatial resolution of 0.5 - 0.8 mm for most objects, and 0.25 - 0.5 for small objects and objects with fine details / small features.

If you have a custom scene or use different bins, you can always Calculate FOV and Imaging Distance or check out our Mounting Specifications diagrams. It is also important to Calculate Depth of Focus when selecting the right camera model.

The next section is about the correct positioning of the camera for the best imaging results.
