Objective
In the field of high speed manipulation, a clear trend towards dedicated autonomous mechatronic systems can be observed within a wide range of applications. Vision systems for controlling or guiding manipulation by automatically recognising positions of workpieces, parts or reference marks are usually common to these systems. Strong, world-wide competition in this field forces a further reduction of manipulation time and sometimes also higher accuracy in order to achieve shorter cycle times and minor investments at the customer level.
Today's bottleneck of high speed and accurate manipulation primarily comes about due to the recognition time of the installed vision system. Due to the fixed TV frame rate and faster computer operations, image acquisition increasingly becomes the predominating time. Therefore, a new random access vision system will be developed, which will enable fast acquisition of only those pixels which are essential for recognition tasks. Thus, the image acquisition becomes negligible and the overall recognition time will be significantly diminished. The results of the completed ESPRIT project no. 5194 CIVIS provide the basis for the development of the high resolution, fast solid state random access image sensor. New strategies and algorithms will be investigated in order to exploit extensively the random access capability as regards fast information processing. The significant progress and impact of random access vision on the speed and accuracy of automated manipulation will be demonstrated by a storing and retrieving system in storages, by an automatically-guided vehicle and by the pick and place operation for SMD components. Furthermore, clear benefits of the R&D work will be applied to general purpose robotics, to the domain of high speed inspection and to automatic traffic control.
The industrial partners within REMAP will exploit the results in the direction of automatic warehousing/transportation and high speed assembly of components, and will thereby secure themselves a strengthened position as suppliers in these large market segments. In addition, via a "spin-off" of the research institute within the project, a general purpose random access vision system for high speed industrial application will be transferred to the market.
