Hello all
Beginning new R&D. Need to learn all I can about machine vision. So far Seen just about every video on youtube, every webinar, and tutorial over the last four days.
Problem: recognize part, use engineering files provided by customer to identify, exercise quality control and clean.
Items are small, inconsistently space, of irregular design, and a low probability that any two would ever be alike. On the order of 53,000 pcs in a 22 day month.
Goal: to recognize, identify, qualify (does the item possess the dimensions it was designed to ) , and clean.
Only thing I'm real Curious about is the "Universal Gripper" Developed in 2010 at Cornell University ( Ground Coffee, Party ball, and a vacuum ). Neat

In all the years of MRO, I have worked with all manner of automated systems, just never robotics, or Machine vision. (shamefully it was a minor in college)
In the 32 hours invested in research, I have found that Keyence, Cognex, and Sick are not capable of sorting the irregular, Most are ok with inconsistent and small.
Next stop will be the robotic manufactures for their developed systems. ABB Yumi
and Yaskawa SDA 5 and 10 series, and one offering from Kuka.
Your Input on any of these systems would be greatly appreciated. Also any systems, ideas, theories I might be overlooking would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you all for your valuable time and attention to this.
