Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the acceptance of loose components and feeding of individual components in a known position and orientation are disclosed.

Abstract: A workcell has a camera module with two optical systems configured to determine the 3D position of an object placed within the effective field of view of the workcell.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the positioning of a feature of a tray such that a robot may place a component in the feature are disclosed.

Abstract: A workcell that is configured to interact with a device having a plurality of target items and a first memory comprising information about 3D positions of the plurality of target items defined in a first coordinate system of the device. The workcell has a camera module and a processor. The camera module is configured to provide information about a first position of a target item on a first sensor and a second position of the same target item on the second sensor. The processor is configured to determine a position and an orientation of the device within the coordinate system of the workcell.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the positioning of a feature of a tray such that a robot may place a component in the feature are disclosed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for the acceptance of loose components and feeding of individual components in a known position and orientation are disclosed.

Abstract: A fixture having a memory containing information about one or more of a plurality of fiducials, a keep-out zone, and an interaction point. The fixture provides this information to a processor of a workcell during set-up.

Abstract: A workcell has a camera module with two optical systems and a memory containing information about the arrangement of the optical systems, a robot module with a first coordinate system, a first set of fiducials, and a memory containing information about the 3D positions of the first set of fiducials defined within the first coordinate system, and a fixture with a second coordinate system, a second set of fiducials, and a memory containing information about the 3D positions of the second set of fiducials defined within the second coordinate system. A processor is communicatively coupled to the camera module, the robot module, and the fixture.
