Sept. 14, 2023

The new MI.RA/Picker is the newest product within Comau’s Machine Inspection Recognition Archetypes family of hardware-agnostic, intelligent vision systems. The MI.RA/Picker autonomously recognizes, locates and grasps randomly placed objects at a rate of up to 40 pieces per minute for single or multiple bins up to one meter tall. Adaptable to any brand of commercial robot, customized bin or customized gripper, the MI.RA/Picker uses two high- resolution laser sensors and a central camera. The MI.RA/Picker’s virtual simulation tools and predictive algorithms reportedly guarantee optimal path management and collision-free trajectories.
