Bin-Picking Software with Programmable AI



CapSen Robotics offers the v2.0 release of its CapSen PiC software. The system features an intuitive user interface (UI) and programmable AI designed to handle challenging high-mix, low-volume bin-picking tasks.

CapSen PiC 2.0 combines 3D vision, motion planning and control algorithms to provide robots the ability to locate, pick and manipulate objects from cluttered bins and shelves. The system accurately detects 3D objects in a range of different positions and orientations, even when they are partially occluded or in tight workspaces. The software provides consistent and complete control of a robot, end effector and 3D cameras within a robot cell, lessening the integration burden of deploying a bin-picking system. In addition, CapSen PiC 2.0 features programmable AI techniques that enable high-mix, low-volume bin-picking tasks in manufacturing.

"Advances in black box AI algorithms for text and image generation have garnered a great deal of press lately, with some companies exploring their use within industrial automation," said Jared Glover, CEO of CapSen Robotics. "Safety and reliability requirements in manufacturing require a more structured approach, however, so while CapSen PiC 2.0 leverages AI tools to improve its 3D vision and motion planning algorithms, it does so within a constrained framework that provides the user control and peace of mind that the robot will work exactly as programmed, every time."

CapSen PiC 2.0 is a hardware-agnostic platform. Its advanced motion planning algorithms help ensure collision avoidance while enabling fast and accurate parts picking, regrasping and advanced tasks such as detangling and assembly of shiny metal objects, such as bolts, springs and washers. To help ensure that the robot operates as intended with every cycle, CapSen Robotics also provides a user-friendly UI for set-up (including part teaching, configuration and calibration), deployment, running and debugging. With enhanced programmable AI capabilities and a powerful UI, CapSen PiC 2.0 is designed for modern manufacturing and warehouse applications that require flexibility.

"Automation applications today often need to quickly adapt to new or custom parts or products, and CapSen PiC 2.0 addresses this by offering an easy-to-use means to deploy accurate and reliable high-mix, low-volume pick & place applications," said Glover. "When the need arises, companies can repurpose their bin-picking robot to accommodate a new part or product within a day."
