There is provided a method for picking up an object from a bin to be implemented by a robotic arm including a controller and a picking-up module. The method includes: recognizing, by the controller, at least one object in the bin based on an image of an interior of the bin so as to determine a type of each object; determining, by the controller, a score for each object based on the type thereof; determining, by the controller, whether a greatest score among the score(s) of the at least one TBT object is greater than a predetermined value; and by the picking-up module, picking up one of the at least one TBT object that has the greatest score when it is determined that the greatest score is greater than the predetermined value.

Method for picking up an object from a bin

A method includes steps of: capturing an image of a container; recognizing at least one object in the container based on the image; determining at least one first coordinate set corresponding to the at least one object; determining at least one second coordinate set that corresponds to target one (s) of the at least one first coordinate set and that relates to a fixed picking device of a robotic arm; adjusting position(s) of unfixed picking device(s) of the robotic arm if necessary; controlling the robotic arm to pick up one (s) of the at least one object that correspond(s) to the at least one second coordinate set with the fixed picking device and/or at least one unfixed picking device.

Method and system for detecting and picking up objects

A transferring system for transferring an object disposed in a storage area includes telescopic units, sucking disc units respectively connected to the telescopic units, and a control unit. The control unit calculates an area related to an object according to an image obtained by an imaging unit, and calculates a value of N based on the area. The value of N is a number of the sucking disc units used for picking up the object and is equal to or greater than one. The control unit determines N positions on the object, controls N telescopic units to move N sucking disc units toward the N positions, and controls the N sucking disc units to adhere respectively to the N positions so as to pick up the object from the storage area.

Transferring system and method for transferring an object

An image reconstruction method adapted to use with a planting bed is provided. The planting bed is constituted by a work platform disposed on a work plane and for supporting a plurality of plants thereon. The image reconstruction method includes steps of: capturing a plurality of images of the work platform from different positions on a monitoring plane to obtain a plurality of image data, wherein the monitoring plane is opposite to the work plane, the monitoring and work planes are parallel to each other in a visible range and have a predetermined distance therebetween; and performing an image stitching algorithm to stitch the image data into a two-dimensional image of the planting bed. A monitoring system of a planting bed is also provided.
