Ever used a claw machine on a funfair? Grabbing an item is no easy task - especially when the machine is rigged against you. But how would you design a claw machine that works every single time? In the latest episode of our "From KNOW-HOW to WOW" podcast, we explore this with Bosch expert Christoph Marx, who built a robot system for warehouses, called Smart Item Picking. His challenge was to build a system combining hardware components, vision sensors and software algorithms that can handle millions of different parts with a high variety in shape, size, weight, and many uncertain parameters. Christoph tells us how using artificial intelligence and a 3D scanner lead him and his team to the solution. ...and what does all of this have to do with the moon landing? Listen in and find out!
