  • System and method for robotic bin picking using advanced scanning techniques
    Patent number: 11648674
    Abstract: A method and system for programming picking and placing of a workpiece is provided. Embodiments may include associating a workpiece with an end effector that is attached to a robot and scanning the workpiece while the workpiece is associated with the end effector. Embodiments may also include determining a pose of the workpiece relative to the robot, based upon, at least in part, the scanning.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 23, 2019
    Date of Patent: May 16, 2023
    Assignee: Teradyne, Inc.
    Inventor: Christopher Thomas Aloisio
  • System and method for robotic bin picking
    Patent number: 11511415
    Abstract: A method and computing system comprising identifying one or more candidate objects for selection by a robot. A path to the one or more candidate objects may be determined based upon, at least in part, a robotic environment and at least one robotic constraint. A feasibility of grasping a first candidate object of the one or more candidate objects may be validated. If the feasibility is validated, the robot may be controlled to physically select the first candidate object. If the feasibility is not validated, at least one of a different grasping point of the first candidate object, a second path, or a second candidate object may be selected.
