Industrial handling robots can recognize the shape and direction of objects and accurately locate their posture in space. This ability relies on advanced perception systems and computing algorithms, which will be detailed in the following points:
1. Shape recognition:
Industrial handling robots are typically equipped with high-definition cameras, 3D vision systems, or laser scanners that can capture the external contours and surface features of objects. Through image processing and machine learning algorithms, robots can distinguish objects of different shapes, such as squares, circles, irregular shapes, etc., in order to recognize target objects.

2. Direction judgment:
After identifying the object, the robot further analyzes its orientation through the vision system. For example, for a container with an opening, label, or handle, the robot can determine which direction is the front or top to choose the appropriate gripping point.

3. Spatial attitude positioning:
By utilizing sensors such as stereo vision, structured light, and depth cameras, robots can obtain the position (X, Y, Z coordinates) and attitude information (pitch angle, yaw angle, roll angle) of objects in three-dimensional space. These pieces of information collectively define the spatial orientation and tilt angle of an object.

4. Fusion algorithm processing:
In order to improve the positioning accuracy, robots usually fuse data from different sensors, such as visual information and inertial measurement unit (IMU), eliminate noise through filtering algorithms (such as Kalman filter), and achieve high-precision and stable estimation of object attitude.

5. Grab path planning:
After obtaining the shape, direction, and posture of the object, the robot will automatically plan the optimal grasping posture and path based on its model, ensuring that there will be no collision, misalignment, or sliding during grasping, thereby improving the success rate and efficiency of the operation.
