Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017093683A1] Method for automatically composing, by means of a polyarticulated system (7) subject to at least one vision system (2), at least one batch of parts (6) in a receiving area (10) from parts situated in at least two different storage areas (5, 13), said polyarticulated system comprising at least two distinct gripping members, each able to grasp a part (6) by at least one specific grip area. According to the invention, the method comprises at least the stages consisting of: - automatically moving the polyarticulated system (7) to a first storage area (5, 13) and of: (i) capturing an image of the storage area (5, 13) by means of the vision system (2); (ii) processing the resulting information from the image and identifying all the grip areas of the parts (6) that are compatible with the gripping members; (iii) locating, in position and orientation, the identified grip areas; (iv) selecting the grip area which has the greatest chance of being grasped by a gripping member and which has no collision constraint, and automatically calculating, for said corresponding gripping member, a path for gripping the part by the selected grip area; (v) grasping the corresponding part (6) following the calculated path, and automatically moving the polyarticulated system (7) to the receiving area (10) to deposit said part (6) there; - automatically moving the polyarticulated system (7) to a second storage area (5, 13) and repeating steps (i) to (v).
