Abstract

The present invention pertains to a robotic vision system for identifying the location of objects. The robotic vision system includes a device for recording images, and n elements, where n.gtoreq.2 and is an integer. Each of the n elements is disposed at a predetermined position such that each of the n elements is in view of the recording device and reflections of objects from each of the n elements is received by the recording device. The robotic vision system also includes a device for determining the location of objects from the image received by the recording device. The recording device is connected to the determining device to provide the viewed image thereto.
