…vision, which often requires additional programming, according to Universal Robots ApS. This is necessary to bridge the gap from “pick” to “place” – especially if the “place” is not just dropping items into a box but accurately inserting parts into fixtures for further processing, said the company. ActiNav combines real-time autonomous motion control, collaborative robots, vision, and sensor systems in…
