Abstract: A component feeder including a stationary picking surface for receiving components to be picked, a vision system including an image unit arranged to take images of components distributed on the picking surface and a load device including one or more load sensors adapted to detect the presence of a component on the picking surface and the vision system is configured to automatically trigger the image unit to take an image upon detecting the presence of the component on the picking surface.

Abstract: A method performed by a robotic system, for identifying single objects from a random assortment of objects. The robotic system picks, among a random assortment of objects on a presentation surface, an object from the presentation surface at a determined picking point. The robotic system removes any remaining objects from the presentation surface. The robotic system places the picked object on the presentation surface. The robotic system further analyzes the picked object on the presentation surface, in order to identify a single object.

Abstract: An attachment system for an industrial robot, the attachment system including a base member having a base and a locking member movable relative to the base between a locking position and an unlocking position; and an attachment member; wherein the attachment member includes an engageable structure configured to be engaged by the locking member when the locking member adopts the locking position, in order to fix the attachment member to the base member; and wherein the attachment system further includes an engaging biasing member configured to bias the locking member towards the engageable structure, when the locking member engages the engageable structure in the locking position. An industrial robot including an attachment system and a method for handling the industrial robot are also provided.

Abstract: A method for calibrating a robot system having a planar pick surface includes: bringing a robot gripper to a first location against the pick surface; and generating a first image of the robot gripper from below. When knowing that a certain identifiable part of the robot gripper in images always lies against the planar pick surface, the position and orientation of the pick surface in relation to a manipulator coordinate frame can be fully defined if the robot gripper's orientation in relation to the pick surface is known, or if there are images on identifiable parts of the robot gripper in at least three different positions against the pick surface.

Abstract: A method for teaching an industrial robot to pick parts includes the steps of: placing a reference part on a picking surface; providing a reference image including information about the reference part; placing a gripping tool of the industrial robot in relation to the reference part so that the gripping tool is in a grasp configuration in relation to the reference part; and storing the grasp configuration. The reference image is a 2D image from below. When the reference part is resting on a known plane a 2D image taken from below is enough for defining the position of the same.
