CapSen PiC

CapSen PiC combines 3D perception, grasp selection, collision-free motion planning and robot-cell control in one industrial software platform. It processes data from one or more supported 3D cameras, recognizes randomly arranged parts and sends executable motion to six-axis robots and end effectors. CapSen positions the system for bin picking, pick-and-place, kitting, sorting, repacking, tote handling, machine tending, assembly and packaging.

The current PiC 2.3 release supports multiple cameras, tools and bins as well as sequential pick-and-place and precision linear paths. CapSen supplies the software with a PiC computer while keeping the workcell hardware-agnostic across supported robot, camera and gripper vendors. Official performance figures include sub-second image processing and planning, recognition from 0.3 seconds and standard six-axis cycles from about two seconds, subject to the selected cell and part geometry.
