From glass to metal: Japanese scientists invent new vision system that enables robots reliably grasp hard-to-see objects

Scientists in Japan say they have developed a new approach – dubbed ‘HEAPGrasp’ – that improves robots’ grasping success rate for transparent and shiny objects, beyond reducing handling time, using only RGB camera The fields of manufacturing, logistics…
