Abstract

The PMD (Photonic Mixer Device)-camera is able to record video images of scenes and objects in 3-dimensional (3D) deep-data images and in 2-dimensional (2D) greyscales. This allows new solutions within the mobile robotics respectively Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV) and industrial robotics. This contribution demonstrates three examples: 1.) Navigation of AGV, in which the PMD-camera is used for obstacle recognition, roadway recognition and obstacle avoidance. 2.) "Bin-Picking Problem" application within industry robotics, in which the PMD-camera is used for object recognition and for monitoring the gripping process. 3.) "Human-Robot-Interaction" application within industry robotics, in which the PMD-camera is used for monitoring the action area of the industry robot.
