Thank you

Extraordinary video, many congratulations and many more thanks. I have 2 questions: can this IRVision project be downloaded to the robot physically and the conveyor calibrations be done physically? Calibration with a color or monochrome camera, could you make a video?

Hi Sadoth, thank you for your comment. If you are referring to iRPickTool, I would suggest doing everything from scratch physically on the robots. An accurate reading from the encoders is the key element since everything else, tracking schedule, infeed and outfeed tracking frame and vision tracking frame depend on the encoder reading. On the next video, iRPickTool Setup Part 5, I am explaining the vision calibration and vision process for visual tracking, this is not much different from my previous iRVision videos. I do not have experience working with a color camera, but I can imagine that the main difference is that you will have to add color filters to enhance the particular colors you want to pick up with the camera, and potentially creating model ID's if you want to select objects with different colors. I can look into more details about that if the subject deserves a video.

@EduardoSuarez-Automation Thank you very much for your answer Eduardo, in other robots this project can be downloaded directly to the controllers in the physical robot only the calibration of shrinking etc. That is why my question. From what I understand in Fanuc is to do everything directly in the physical robot?

@@SadothEduardoLopezLopez If you are not familiar with FANUC, in Roboguide you can download the project to the robot and also upload from the robot to Roboguide, this last step is very useful for offline troubleshooting and validation. My previous answer is that, particularly for iRPickTool, there could be very little value in dowloading from Roboguide since everything depends pretty much on the encoders. My objectives with these videos is to show you how you would do the iRPickTool setup in a real robot. If you want to do simulations to validate the system, you would use iRPickPRO that I explained on part 1.
