Vision Systems for Robots

Advancing Automation: Innovations in 2D and 3D Imaging for Robotic Vision.

In an increasingly digitalized world, vision systems for stationary and mobile robots open up revolutionary possibilities in automation. From precise object recognition to autonomous navigation to human-robot-interaction – these technologies are a key driver for innovative robotics applications in industry. 

The workshop is dedicated to the current developments, challenges, and application areas of vision systems. Experts and practitioners will exchange their knowledge of modern image processing technologies, machine learning, and their integration into robot platforms. Topics discussed include the optimization of recognition algorithms, sensor fusion, and their impact on the productivity and flexibility of industrial processes. 

The goal of the workshop is to connect science, industry, and practitioners to jointly shape the future of robotics with vision systems. Participants will gain valuable insights into the state of the art and learn best practices for implementing these technologies in various application areas.



Target audience
This workshop will be a forum for participants from industry and academia to share their experiences and discuss challenges and perspectives of current and future applications.
 

Showroom
We provide a table top exhibition for industry representatives. In case of interest, please contact Hannes Merbold by e-mail, hannes.merbold@fhgr.ch – available spots are limited!
