Building an AI vision pipeline for real-world robotics comes with unique challenges. At Urban Machine, we learned hard lessons moving from consumer-grade cameras to high-end structured light 3d systems, and finally to a scalable, cost-efficient setup using 2d Lucid cameras.
In this video, I dive into:
- Why heuristic CV fails for unpredictable materials like wood.
- How continuous material flow transformed our pipeline.
- Why pipelines, not models, are the key to scaling AI systems.
If you’re working on AI vision or robotics, this breakdown of our approach—and what we’d do differently—might save you some headaches.
Check out some open source tools we built that helped make this possible:
- our ros tools: https://github.com/urbanmachine/node_helpers
- 3d robot tools: https://github.com/UrbanMachine/onshape-urdf-exporter
- containerized ros tooling: https://github.com/UrbanMachine/create-ros-app
