Applications
 Find locations
 Measure parts
 Verify presence
 Inspections
 Robot guidance
Robotic Vision Process Types
 Fixed camera vision
 Single camera
 Multiple cameras
– High-speed
Robotic Vision Process Types
 Robot-mounted vision

Single field of view tight access/multiple
parts/clearance

Multiple field of view low cycle time
requirements
