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 ...

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

Use Geometry Nodes to create particles, use node shader to partially cover the object and Use Modifier to create chaos of ...

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 ...

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 ...

Picking up transparent objects is hard when you’re a robot. Many of the traditional cameras and sensors just can’t get a good enough view to tell the grasper where to go.

Robots and other automated systems have always had trouble visually gauging the 3D shape of transparent objects, like those made of glass. A new system addresses that problem, by using a laser to ...

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 objects take most of their appearance from the surroundings, which complicates digitization of scenes with transparent and opaque objects," Jeppe Frisvad of DTU commented to Optics.org.

Shiny objects foil robots, but RGB-D holds the key Color cameras may provide a simple and effective tool to help robots grasp Written by Greg Nichols, Contributing Writer July 21, 2020, 4:00 a.m. PT ...
