Scientists at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have built a robot that can assemble an Ikea chair in less than 10 minutes
UK vision equipment supplier, Multipix Imaging, has become a member of the University of Sheffield's Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre
Sick has launched 2D and 3D vision-guided part localisation systems for robot picking from a belt or from a bin
Isra Vision has released a compact sensor with quad-camera technology, which enables bin picking for small components
A three-year EU research project, called Spirit, has begun that aims to reduce engineering costs when setting up inspection robots in factories
Robot bin picking has been worked on for a number of years, and while it has been shown to be possible it’s only now that the technology is coming to fruition. Greg Blackman looks at what was on display at Automatica
