In order to see and then grasp objects, robots typically utilize depth-sensing cameras. And while such cameras may be thwarted by transparent or shiny objects, scientists at Carnegie Mellon ...

Transparent object detection Detecting transparent objects, such as clear plastic bottles or glass containers, presents another challenge to photoelectric sensing because these objects absorb very ...

The system can't pick up transparent or reflective objects as efficiently as opaque objects, said Thomas Weng, a Ph.D. student in robotics.

Transparent objects have been quite popular at times, and the accelerated development of plastic types in the 60’s and 70’s has provided designers with constructive resources to put some of ...

Jul 14, 2020 Transparent, reflective objects now within grasp of robots (w/video) (Nanowerk News) Kitchen robots are a popular vision of the future, but if a robot of today tries to grasp a kitchen ...

The SA1E-X transparent models feature a coaxial optic and narrow beam to ensure stable detection. They can reliably detect objects with irregular surfaces and are not affected by angle, inclination or ...

Transparent and reflective objects are the things of robot nightmares. Roboticists at Carnegie Mellon University, however, report success with a new technique they've developed for teaching robots ...

You might not see most objects in near-total darkness, but AI can. MIT scientists have developed a technique that uses a deep neural network to spot objects in extremely low light. The team ...

New technique accurately digitizes transparent objects Photorealistic 3-D renderings could be used for movies, virtual reality or material design Date: September 21, 2017 Source: The Optical ...
