Bin-picking of empty beverage containers using a sheet-of-light vision setup

Abstract

The aim of this project is to develop a bin-picking setup for emptying metal racks filled with empty beverage containers. The main problem is that currently employees have to perform this task manually wish is very demanding and hard physical work. They can only perform this job for a maximum of one hour and then they are assigned to other work. This project focusses on the vision part and not so much on the robot picking part.
