Set up perception

In robotic systems, perception leverages sensors—such as RGB and IR cameras—to provide the system with a visual understanding of the workcell. This allows it to detect objects, interpret the environment, and dynamically adapt to real-time changes. While perception isn’t required for your solution, it can help you create more flexible solutions that seamlessly adapt to the workcell environment.

In Flowstate, you can incorporate perception by creating and adding a pose estimator to your solution. A pose estimator automatically identifies the position and orientation of a specific object it’s designed to detect.

Getting started with perception​

  1. Choose Cameras: Select the cameras that best fit your setup.
  2. Add and Configure Cameras: Add the chosen cameras to your solution and configure them.
  3. Create a Pose Estimator: Develop a pose estimator to identify object positions and orientations.
  4. Calibrate Cameras: If connected to a physical workcell, calibrate your cameras for accurate perception.
