The VDMA Machine Vision sector group has elected a new board for 2018-2021 at a members’ assembly of the VDMA Robotic and Automation Association
Engineers at the Politecnico di Milano in Italy are developing a vision system that can infer what a human is going to do in order for a robot to operate more effectively with its human co-workers. Professor Paolo Rocco spoke about the project at the European Machine Vision Forum in Bologna, Italy
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
Keely Portway looks at the changing relationship between human and robot in industrial environments, and the latest vision innovations involved in bringing them together
Greg Blackman looks at how SWIR spectral imaging can help reduce plastic pollution, both through environmental surveys and by improving sorting in recycling plants
Keely Portway looks at some of the new imaging techniques advancing biological investigation
