Optional software components

The rc_visard offers optional software components that can be activated by purchasing a separate license.

The rc_visard’s optional software consists of the following components:

• SLAM (rc_slam)

  performs simultaneous localization and mapping for correcting accumulated poses. The rc_visard’s covered trajectory is offered via the REST-API interface.

• ItemPick and BoxPick (rc_itempick and rc_boxpick)

  provides an out-of-the-box perception solution for robotic pick-and-place applications of unknown objects or boxes.

• SilhouetteMatch (rc_silhouettematch)

  provides an object detection solution for objects placed on a plane.

• CollisionCheck (rc_collision_check)

  provides an easy way to check if a gripper is in collision with load carrier.

The rc_visard provides some common functionalities which are used in multiple optional software components. The common functionalities are:

• Load carrier functionality

  allows setting and retrieving load carriers, as well as detecting load carriers and their filling level.

• Region of interest functionality

  allows setting and retrieving 3D regions of interest.
