Application: Automatic pick and place system (Patent ID: US20240208069A1)
Siemens AG has developed a method and autonomous system for automating kitting processes using multi-robot, multi-gripper systems. The method involves capturing an image of an object, determining its pose, receiving robot configuration data and models, and generating a sequence for the kitting operation. The system includes multiple robots with end effectors, a sensor for object detection, processors, and memory storing instructions for determining poses, selecting robots, and generating instructions for completing the kitting operation.
The method and system allow for efficient kitting operations by selecting robots based on grasp and insertion accuracies, determining poses of objects and containers, and generating sequences for pick and place motions. By utilizing multiple robots with different grasping modalities, the system can optimize the kitting process by assigning specific tasks to each robot based on their capabilities. Overall, Siemens AG's invention enables fully flexible kitting processes to be automated through advanced robotic systems, enhancing efficiency and accuracy in manufacturing operations.
