3D ROBOT GUIDANCE SYSTEM
6 Degrees of Freedom (X Y Z Rx Ry Rz)

ABOUT
Robeye is a turnkey hardware-software solution for 3D Robotic Guidance designed for high industrial reliability. The core of Robeye is visual recognition and guidance software that mimics the way we see. We as humans are not required to use a 3D scanner or stereo in order to understand our visual environment, so why should our robots be? Robeye uses a simple 2D camera, however it is capable of guiding an industrial robot in a full 6 degrees of freedom (X Y Z Rx Ry Rz). The process is no more complex than clicking the teach button and erasing unwanted outlines.

SOFTWARE
CortexRecognition is a ground breaking piece of visual recognition and guidance software that works with Recognition Robotics products. It functions very similarly to the human visual process and can be taught, and learn a large number of objects, then recognize and locate any of the learned objects in the cameraâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field of view.
