KUKA _3D Perception sensor
This sensor with integrated 3D stereo camera system from KUKA enables 3D perception in real time and allows both 3D measurement and positioning in space. By so doing, it turns the concept of spatial orientation and machine vision into a reality.
The KUKA_3D Perception sensor makes it possible to perceive unstructured environments precisely and in real time, and to position objects accurately in space using various kinematic systems. It is the first 3D sensor in the world to endow robots and other systems with such capabilities in this manner. The upshot of this sophisticated solution: your robot can sense its position and orientation in the space with millimeter accuracy and perform tasks even more quickly and efficiently.
KUKA _3D Perception produces numerous types of images
-
Camera image
Depicts the environment as a simple 2D image
-
Depth image
Shows the distance between the environment and the sensorp
-
Accuracy image
Shows how accurately the distance between the environment and the sensor is detected
-
Confidence image
Indicates the reliability of the measured values for the depiction
Direct data processing in the 3D sensor
Depth images are processed directly in the sensor using the integrated graphics card. No external computing power is required – ideal for mobile robot systems. The high-performance hardware was designed for use in a robotic environment, is rated for temperatures of up to 50 °C and meets the requirements of protection class IP 54 – this provides a good basis for parallel kinematic systems too.
Industrial image processing - user-friendly and quickly deployable
KUKA _3D Perception sensor available in several variants
- 2D, confidence, depth and accuracy images in real time
- Image and acceleration data for self-localization
- SLAM integrated (optional)
