The Breakthrough Technology: CortexRecognition®
It learns, recognizes and locates objects like you do.
Now any production line of any size can realize the benefits from an autonomous, automated workforce. Setup is simple. Our visual guidance software, CortexRecognition®, remembers what it sees. When paired with our Robeye® or RAIO® hardware, it will recognize and guide robotic work functions no matter the object’s orientation or similarity to other parts.
This is beyond sight. It is true hand-eye coordination.
Invented, designed, developed and implemented by Recognition Robotics to mimic the human visual process, CortexRecognition® uses a unique algorithm that gives blind production robots true hand-eye coordination. It can distinguish between up to 100 unique objects, two-and three-dimensional shapes and dramatically similar parts, regardless of orientation, with accuracy and speed.
What is Visual Guidance?
Visual guidance combines the capacity to see and identify an object with the ability to locate it.
Easy to Integrate
The most innovative robotic visual system is also the most easily integrated.
With one camera, one cable and zero engineering, our system upgrades almost any automated workforce within hours and keeps running for decades, providing low lifecycle cost.
