The working scenarios of cobots are expanding with the improvement of image processing technology. Universal Robots has added to its lineup for UR+ applications in the Chinese market with the Canon Vision Edition-U, an advanced image processing software for UR cobots. The software was developed by Canon Co., Ltd., whose core competency is optical technology, and by using this software, the application performance of UR robots will be enhanced, providing more flexible and diverse automation solutions for production workshops.
Canon's Vision Edition-U is an image processing software for UR robots. Combined with Canon's network cameras, this software acts as the robot's "eyes" to enable fast and accurate matching patterns and automatically perform visual inspection and image processing across the entire range of motion of the robot arm. For example, in the pick-and-place operation of robot parts, image processing can be used to find and prevent job omission; When the robot places the parts on the scale, image processing is used to recognize the weight displayed in the digital display and confirm whether the standard is met, which creates added value for the cobot operation.
Adam Sobieski, General Manager of Universal Robots Greater China, said: "The UR+ Canon Vision Edition-U image processing software expands the UR+ portfolio and has received rave reviews since its global debut last fall. We are pleased that our customers in China can now also use this advanced software to help them visualize their production in their factories and greatly improve efficiency." ”
UR+VISION EDITION application scenarios
Detect whether there are holes and whether parts are installed. It is used in large working frame environments such as automobiles.
After placing the parts on the pallet, Universal Robots can perform multiple image processing with a single network camera, and check the number of parts and the value of the weight meter in the Canon vision system.
Image processing is used to analyze the in-stock condition of the part shelves, and the missing items are supplemented by Universal Robots. Universal Robots uses image processing to identify items.
Once the Universal Robots robot is placed, the camera can check the operating status of the molding machine (OK or NG) and check the status of the parts placed in the tray.
What is so special about the Vision Edition-U?
01Perform image processing over a wide area using the PTZ (up/down, left-right, and focus) function
02Equipped with a wide range of image processing functions, it can be freely set for multiple image processing
03Adopt a flow-like UI that can be easily set up by anyone

Universal Robots – an introduction to the features of the robot control system
(1) The control of the robot is closely related to the kinematics and dynamics of the mechanism. The state of the robot hand and foot can be described under various coordinates, and the reference coordinate system should be selected according to the specific needs, and the appropriate coordinate transformation should be done. There is often a need for forward kinematics and anti-kinematics.
