Vention Machines in the field
Vention is transforming how industrial automation is deployed by making robotic systems accessible to non-engineers. Their AI Operator platform turns standard robot arms into plug-and-play solutions that can perceive, plan, and pick without any programming, calibration, or custom training. This helps manufacturers automate complex tasks like bin picking in hours instead of weeks, dramatically reducing the time and expertise required to deploy robotics on the factory floor.
Automating unstructured bin picking requires a vision system that delivers extreme precision and accurate depth perception at close range, a particularly difficult problem when dealing with unknown objects and tight tolerances. The challenges include:
This kind of perception workload demands a compact, high-fidelity vision system that can operate fully at the edge.
Vention integrates the Luxonis OAK‑D Pro PoE camera directly onto their robot arm as the perception module. The camera delivers high-resolution color imagery, global shutter stereo depth, and onboard neural inference all processed directly on-device. In the demo, the robot identifies and picks parts from a bin in real time, without prior calibration. The Luxonis camera provides the depth map and spatial features needed for the robot to understand object shape, position, and orientation. This enables accurate grasp planning and closed-loop control executed entirely on the edge, without relying on cloud compute or external calibration steps.
Luxonis was the right fit for Vention’s fast-deploy automation platform for several reasons:
Edge inference + spatial AI: The OAK‑D Pro PoE delivers real-time depth sensing and neural inference directly on-device with no external processing needed.
High resolution with active stereo depth sensing, enhanced by an IR dot projector, enables accurate 3D maps at close range and in low-contrast scenes, critical for unstructured bin picking
PoE and single-cable simplicity: Power and data over a single cable streamlines integration into robot arms and factory setups.
Plug-and-play modularity: The camera fits naturally into Vention’s hardware/software stack, aligning with their zero-calibration, zero-programming approach to automation
Vention’s system showcases how Luxonis helps bring industrial AI to life, solving perception in real-world environments without complex setup or custom development.
