Best Practices for VGR Integration

Successful implementation of vision-guided robotics (VGRs) for industrial automation involves component specification, architecture design, calibration, and programming of both vision components and robots. Dechow discusses best practices for VGR projects when integrating 2D and 3D machine vision technologies. He will include use cases and examples for specific common applications, such as machine tending, part tracking, and bin picking.
