the robot as seen in the video makes zero sense, a railing camera on the ceiling or top of the opposite shelf would do the same in a fraction of the time because it doesn't have to be slow to avoid injuring people and will have greater accuracy due the fixed nature of the shelfs spatial relationships, moreover it doesn't have to come with complex navigation software and hardware.
research is fine and all, but this is quite far from something that could have resulted in a production run.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoThe problem with ceiling camera on rails would be that it won't see stuff in the lower shelves. It would be best to have a camera at human level, or lower. But going this way, why not put a camera on each shelf, looking at the shelf opposite of it? I.e. if you have shelf A and shelf B opposite each other, the camera on A looks at B, and camera on B looks at A. The goal would be to have each shelf seen by at least one camera. It now becomes a problem of integrating data, but I can't imagine it being more complex than crowd-navigating robots, or even moving cameras on rails.
