Tote-Handling Robots
Overview
In tote-handling applications, 3D cameras provide reliable 3D perception. For regularly arranged totes and storage locations, they identify tote pose and storage-location coordinates for high-accuracy, high-throughput storage and retrieval. In dense storage areas, point-cloud data reconstructs tote geometry and the surrounding environment to guide pick-and-place positioning and avoid collisions, supporting efficient tote turnover across warehouse workflows.
Key Challenges
-
Varied tote materials, surface imperfections and reflections cause recognition errors -
Dense storage locations and stacked totes create severe occlusion -
Complex warehouse lighting and dust reduce pose estimation accuracy
Key Advantages
-
Captures 3D point clouds of storage locations for accurate tote storage and retrieval
-
Recognizes stacked-tote geometry to plan efficient pick-and-place paths
-
Delivers stable operation in dense warehouse areas, even under stray light and dusty conditions
