Hand-eye calibration & Pick and Place with UR Cobot - MVTec HALCON(Machine Vision, Robot Machine Vision)

Part #1

There are many ways to perform a hand-eye calibration with HALCON. In this video, we approach a calibration plate with the gripper of our robot and use these poses to get a correspondence of the camera coordinate system and the robot coordinate system. 

Hand-eye calibration is necessary for pick and place applications.
