and artificial intelligence (AI) offer a wealth of opportunity in many applica- tion areas, such as assembly and logis- tics, where components are picked and positioned onto small load carriers.


Industrial Vision Intelligent industrial robots must


accurately identify target objects (ori- entation, dimensions, and distance) to pick them up and precisely position them. In some cases, they also need to be aware of their environment, for ex- ample to avoid collisions with people and objects. This demands powerful sensing technology. The FRAMOS D435e depth cam-


era can be utilized in combination with the Robotic Operating System (ROS) framework for controlling robots. A leading luxury car manufacturer, for

example, uses the camera this way in an au- tomatic sorting and palletizing system. In this particular process the robots


must detect the position of a Euro container or “KLT” box, determine the best suction po- sition for their vacuum grippers, and then grip, align and palletize the KLTs. A robot performs tasks that are monoto-


nous or strenuous for humans. It relieves em- ployees of repetitive, heavy, and uncomfort- able work. The D435e depth camera is ideal for this


application. It takes full advantage of the In- tel® RealSense™ camera module to provide the necessary data. With the integrated Intel RealSense Vision D4 Processor, depth infor- mation is generated directly in the camera and provided via a gigabit Eth- ernet interface. As a result, no additional process-


ing power is required on the host sys- tem to create the depth image. Fur- thermore, color information and depth
