"Vision, Identification, with Z-sensing Technology and key Applications."
Status: Concluded, 2022
Tech Stack: C++, Python, PyTorch
The project aimed to develop innovative technologies in the field of optical sensors and laser sources for short- to long-range 3D imaging and demonstrated their value in several key applications, including automotive, security, smart buildings, mobile robotics for smart cities, and Industry 4.0.
Funding
H2020 ESCEL Joint Undertaking under grant agreement No.826600
Contribution
The main role of the robotics Group was to demonstrate the use of 3D/depth sensors developed by the partners in an industrial task — sorting plastic bottles using an industrial robot. Through research in computer vision, artificial intelligence, and robot control algorithms, the a demonstrator was created consisting not only of an industrial robot, but also of a mobile platform capable of detecting bottles on the floor, autonomously navigating to them, and pushing them outside the work area.
