Abstract: Systems, methods, and media for machine vision-guided robotic loading are provided. Such systems and methods can allow for more accurate object detection so as to allow for robotic picking or loading of an object from a pile or group of objects. In some embodiments, a camera is controlled to capture a background image of the object or group of objects.

The camera may be controlled to capture a scan image comprising the projected illumination. Based on the scan image, a depth map can be determined, which is provided to a machine learning model along with the background image. The output of the machine learning model can then provide information associated with one or more objects, such as location information, orientation information, and the like.

Abstract: A buckle has a buckle mechanism with a lock pawl and a latch pin. The latch pin is designed to travel only in a longitudinal or horizontal direction relative to the buckle mechanism. When a latch plate assembly is secured, the latch pin holds the lock pawl in a latched position and prevents accidental release of the latch plate assembly. A release button is coupled to the latch plate retention bar so that all of the effective actuation and other motions are in the longitudinal direction of the buckle mechanism. The buckle mechanism has an ejector mechanism with an ejection spring for ejecting the latch plate assembly.

Abstract: A metal detector (1) has a drive coil (L61) and at least one detection coil (L62, L63) that detect fluctuations in a magnetic field generated by the drive coil, caused by metallic particles present in an inspected object. A multi-frequency transmitter unit (10) has a converter (4) with a plurality of drive switches (S41, S42; S43, S44) driven by a drive controller (2). The drive switches alternately conduct a drive current through the drive coil to generate an electromagnetic field with two or more different frequency components.
