While obstacle detection and avoidance have largely been solved for mobile robots, perception and manipulation remain challenging for piece-picking operations. Advances in computer vision, machine learning, and end-of-arm tooling are now enabling robots to pick at human and even superhuman rates. One company focusing on successful automation of pick-and-place workflows is Material Handling Systems Inc. (MHS). The Mt. Washington, Ky.-based company spun out MHS Robotics from its research and development unit last year. Kristiyan Georgiev, R&D manager for computer vision and software engineering at MHS, spoke with Robotics 24/7 about improvements in robotic picking applications. How long have you been…
