Robot random Bin picking is a system that works with a 3D camera. Robots have the
function to pick up workpieces accurately as if they have eyes like humans. However, the
robot bin picking system is limited to complex, random and overlapping workpiece
placement. Nevertheless, specialists expect that it will become widely used from 2020
onwards.
