Abstract
Automated packaging is becoming more and more interesting for production sites. However, in many companies the packaging process can only handle a limited amount of products. Most of the time for new products, the packaging system needs to be modified. One of the main components in an automated packaging process is the grasping of the objects that need to be packed. For different products mostly a different gripping system is required. In this paper, solutions from a research project are presented which enables the flexible grasping of different products. These solutions include flexible pose recognition for different objects, path planning for the recognized objects and finally, a prototypical design for a flexible gripper, which enables handling of various objects of different weight and size.
