Emerging Applications for 3D Vision-Driven Autonomous Mobile Robots

Glover provides a background on how 3D imaging and motion planning software technology is enabling autonomous picking, placing, stacking, and destacking of totes, bins, and boxes in warehouses. The presentation highlights current applications and examines future possibilities for using 3D vision-driven robots on autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).

About the presenter
Jared Glover, Ph.D., is CEO and co-founder of CapSen Robotics, a developer of spatial intelligence software for robots. Glover received a doctorate in computer science in 2014 from MIT, where he developed and applied new theoretical tools for processing 3D orientation information to computer vision and robot manipulation applications.

Prior to that, he received a Bachelor of Science in computer science from Carnegie Mellon University, where he led a team that developed robotic walkers. Glover has 20 years of research experience in robotics and computer vision and over 500 paper citations. He is also a board member of Catalyst Connection, a private nonprofit that provides consulting and training services to small manufacturers in southwestern Pennsylvania.
