Patent ID: 12012289

Abstract:
Laundry pieces are to be gripped at various locations in laundries. This is labor-intensive. For this purpose, efforts are being made toward automating the gripping of laundry pieces. A camera has previously been used for this purpose. The automatic gripping of laundry pieces is implemented by way of a plurality of cameras, in that a plurality of cameras simultaneously record image data of respective laundry pieces to be gripped. On account thereof, the cameras always provide exploitable image data of the relevant laundry piece even when one camera is momentarily obscured, for example, or is defective or the viewing direction of a camera is not directed toward the face of the laundry piece. Image data of the laundry piece can always be generated by virtue of the plurality of cameras, said image data enabling a handling installation to automatically grip the laundry piece in a reliable manner.
