Problem
Traditional industrial robots require precise part placement and fixturing, leading to high costs for custom tooling and inflexible automation setups. Programming and reprogramming robots for new parts or variations is time-consuming, often requiring specialized expertise and lengthy downtime. In dynamic or unstructured environments, robots struggle to adapt to variations in part position or orientation, leading to errors and reduced efficiency.
Solution
Inbolt's GuideNOW system provides an AI-powered robot guidance solution that uses 3D vision to enable robots to adapt to real-time workpiece positions and orientations. The system uses a 3D camera mounted on the robot arm to capture data, which is then processed by AI algorithms to identify the workpiece's position and orientation. This allows the robot to adjust its trajectory in real-time, eliminating the need for precise part placement or custom tooling. The system can be set up in under 30 minutes, reducing programming time and enabling robots to operate accurately in dynamic, unstructured, or unpredictable environments.
