Overview

3D vision and a collision-avoidance algorithm let multiple robots pick safely and simultaneously.

Project Background & Purpose

This demonstrates a multi-robot system where several Yaskawa robots perform real-time pick-and-place using 3D vision, with a collision-avoidance algorithm generating robot trajectories on the fly. When multiple robots share the same workspace, overlapping paths create collision risk — and slowing down to avoid it hurts productivity.

Components

• Multiple Yaskawa industrial robots
• 3D vision system
• Real-time collision-avoidance algorithm

Process Steps

1. 13D vision recognizes the position of pick targets
2. 2The collision-avoidance algorithm generates each robot's real-time path
3. 3Multiple robots pick and place simultaneously with no path overlap
