Read our latest paper to find out more about our 3D scanning technology and how it contributes to our bin picking solutions. While the idea of the robotic arm picking of randomly placed objects from a container is rather simple to imagine, real implementation brings inevitable challenges. In the article, our Director of Robot Vision Adrian Kratky elaborates on such challenges experienced in an actual bin picking use case, and the capability of hardware and software developed by Photoneo to tackle the issues.

We've had a great time in Silicon Valley during October/November. Photoneo is one of this year's ABB IdeaHub Innovation Challenge 10 selected finalists from all over the world, who had a chance to present their ideas to the executive management of ABB Robotics during the ABB Pitch Day in San Jose. Our CEO Jan Zizka also held a presentation at the Silicon Valley Robotics Meetup. The Collaborative Robots and Advanced Vision Conference (CRAV2017) organized by AIA and RIA was also an exceptional opportunity to introduce ourselves to the US market. Last but not least, we've enjoyed dozens of interesting and encouraging meetings moving us a leap forward. No autumn blues for Photoneo, please! ;)

Last week, we've had an opportunity to join HE, Slovak President Andrej Kiska on his three-day tour to Mexico. It's been the first-ever official visit of the Slovak President in Mexico. The Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency (SARIO) had selected a few representatives of Slovak innovation, automotive, energy, and telecommunications industries, interested in business opportunities in Mexico, including Photoneo, to accompany the President. According to Kiska, Mexico is currently Slovakia's most important trade partner in Latin America. Photoneo is looking forward to utilize the cooperation potential found in Mexico.
