Roboception

Roboception offers innovative sensor solutions that allow customers across all robotic domains to enable their robotic systems to reliably perceive their environment. Following the concept of “Sense. Reason. Act”, Roboception’s award-winning rcvisard stereo sensor and its highly sophisticated rcreason software suite close the robotic perception-action loop.

These plug-and-play solutions feature highly intuitive, user-friendly interfaces and are compatible with a variety of hardware platforms. On top of this, customer-specific solutions are developed in compliance with individual plug-and-produce requirements.

Roboception’s rcvisard sensor family supports a variety of robot applications, ranging from bin-picking to navigation. The four versions of the rcvisard feature two different baselines (65 mm, 160 mm) and a color or monochrome acquisition capacity. With its onboard processing capabilities, the sensor can be integrated directly into applications, obviating the need for external computers. An intuitive web interface enables an easy set-up and configuration. Last, but not least, multiple sensors can easily operate without interference in the same work space.

All rcvisards come with the same basic software package that can be further enhanced by optional components from the rcreason software suite. These can be easily activated on-board any rc_visard, and intuitively operated through the sensor’s standard user interface. The solutions include highly intuitive, user-friendly interfaces, parametrization and programming, hence a detailed robotic knowledge is not required for their setup and operation. Designed as plug-and-produce solutions, they are compatible with a variety of robotic platforms. On top of this, customer-specific solutions are developed in compliance with individual production requirements. Following the concept of “Sense. Reason. Act”, Roboception’s solutions close the robotic perception-action loop.

Munich-based Roboception was founded in 2015 as a spin-off of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics by Dr. Michael Suppa, Dr. Heiko Hirschmüller and Dr. Korbinian Schmid.
