Problems solved by technology

Heavy items can cause fatigue to the person performing these maneuvers
May require the use of mechanical assistance such as a crane to move heavy items; however, such mechanical assistance may be difficult to use and may not be acceptable to staff
Repetitive movements can cause costly injuries, especially when moving heavy items
These manual operations can introduce delays and inefficiencies throughout the assembly line process

Abstract

A system and method for automatically moving one or more items between a structure at a source location and a destination using a robot is provided. The system includes first and second vision systemsto identify an item and to determine the precise location and orientation of the item at the source location and the precise location and orientation of the destination, which may or may not be in afixed location. A controller plans the best path for the robot to follow in moving the item between the source location and the destination. An end effector on the robot picks the item from the sourcelocation, holds it as the robot moves, and places the item at the destination. The system may also check the item for quality by one or both of the vision systems. An example of loading and unloadingbaskets from a machine is provided.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related applications [0002] This PCT international patent application requires the rights and interests of the U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 560,968 entitled "System And Method For Adaptive Bin Picking For Manufacturing" filed on September 20, 2017. The entire disclosure of this application is considered It is part of the disclosure of this application and is incorporated herein by reference. Background technique [0003] Implement the assembly process (or assembly line) to produce the finished product. The finished product is a combination of various parts attached together through various technologies. The finished product can be any kind of objects or products, such as objects or products sold in commerce. Automobiles or vehicles or parts of automobiles or vehicles may be finished products produced through an assembly process. Many aspects of the manufacturing process involve moving items, such as individual parts, components, ...
