Yaskawa, Fizyr Collaborate on Vision AI for Industrial Applications

TORSÅS, Sweden, Oct. 8, 2024 — Yaskawa, a supplier of automation solutions, has partnered with AI vision company Fizyr to facilitate the implementation of robotic automation that relies on AI-based computer vision. The partners will specifically target warehouse logistics, focusing on item picking, automatic parcel sorting, palletizing, depalletizing, and trailer unloading of objects of varying sizes and shapes.

The partnership extends to European markets and will be facilitated through Yaskawa’s European subsidiary, YASKAWA Nordic AB.

For integrators working with warehouse logistics, Yaskawa said, the cooperation will serve to simplify the process of implementing robots with computer vision. Training and support will be provided for robots and software during the process of robot system design, installation, and final operation.

Glossary

machine vision: Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
computer vision: Computer vision enables computers to interpret and make decisions based on visual data, such as images and videos. It involves the development of algorithms, techniques, and systems that enable machines to gain an understanding of the visual world, similar to how humans perceive and interpret visual information. Key aspects and tasks within computer vision include: Image recognition: Identifying and categorizing objects, scenes, or patterns within images. This involves training...
bin picking: Bin picking, also known as bin picking automation or bin picking robotics, refers to the automated process of selecting and retrieving individual objects or components from a bin, container, or bulk storage system using robotic systems equipped with sensors, cameras, and manipulation capabilities. Bin picking is a challenging task in automation and robotics due to the variability in object shapes, sizes, orientations, and positions within the bin. Object recognition and localization: Bin...
