In many companies today, robots are already performing tasks that are difficult or impossible or very monotonous for humans to perform. They achieve consistent quality and reliability and are often faster than humans. However, the areas of application are limited, since a robot can only perform a specific task in a limited range of motion. Computer vision can make robots "smarter" and help to expand their fields of application. We at Basler are experts in the field of computer vision. We give robots the power of sight.
Robots that can see can perform tasks that would otherwise require a great deal of time, effort and ultimately cost.
There are many applications that can benefit from vision-guided robotics.
Vision-guided robotics enable performance of tasks such as pick-and-place, labeling, palletizing, packaging and material transport. Increased flexibility, optimized collaboration with employees and reliable operation are just some of the possible benefits.
Inspection of parts, metrology, classification, assembly and machine tending - all these applications require imaging for a stable and safe implementation. With the right vision system for robotics, higher accuracy, higher throughput or less downtime can be achieved.
Vision technology is becoming more and more relevant for robot applications. As a vision expert, you have probably already recognized this. We show you here how you can successfully combine both technologies.
If you are an expert in the field of robotics and would like to know how your application can benefit from vision solutions, you have come to the right place.
We can help you to configure your vision system. With the help of our pylon camera drivers for the Robot Operating System (ROS) and the integration of our camera drivers
into the drag&bot software for robotics, this becomes easier than you think. In addition, our online tool, the Vision Solution Guide,
offers advice on finding the right camera and accessories for your vision application.
Easily integrate Basler 2D cameras into your robot application using the pylon Camera Software Suite, which is integrated into the drag&bot software.
The pylon camera driver for ROS (Robot Operating System) enables the use of GigE and USB 3.0 cameras in robotic applications.
