Heguang Cloud 3D vision empowers intelligent grasping in outdoor scenarios

Project background

The customer operates heavy manipulators and cranes in open yards. Strong lighting, long range, and occlusions challenged 2D-only perception. Safety interlocks required reliable 3D cues at production cadence.

The customer builds robotic automation for indoor pallet depalletizing and small-part picking. Extending the same stack to outdoor, 15 m truck bodies broke classic depth-camera limits:

• Limited range: mainstream depth cameras rarely cover a 15 m bed end-to-end;
• Lighting sensitivity: outdoor glare and backlight destabilize depth;
• Complex structure: ribs, apertures, and cargo layout need reliable 3D context.

HEGANG YUNCHANG approach

Camera + LiDAR fusion: HEGANG YUNCHANG integrates dense LiDAR mapping with the customer’s image recognition and 3D detection so the stack works at yard scale and high dynamics.

Key technical highlights:

1. Long-range sensing: HEGANG YUNCHANG 2D/3D LiDAR reaches up to about 80 m—enough for a full truck body scan.
2. Lighting robustness: LiDAR is insensitive to sun, shadow, rain, and snow for stable outdoor runs.
3. 3D modeling + bed structure: detects cargo and bed boundaries to cut collision risk for manipulators.
4. Fusion with vision: existing AI models map into the LiDAR frame for precise 6-DoF targets.
5. Modular retrofit: quick field fit without replacing the customer’s algorithm framework.

Application value

With HEGANG YUNCHANG fusion perception deployed, the customer’s manipulators gained:

• Higher grasp success and takt with less manual teach-in
• More stable all-weather operation and less downtime
• Traceable data for process tuning and post-mortems

Closing: tight coupling of 3D perception to takt time is the backbone for outdoor automation; multi-station orchestration and remote ops can follow.

Closing

As automation moves outdoors, a single modality is no longer enough. HEGANG YUNCHANG fuses LiDAR and vision so arms not only “see” but pick accurately and avoid collisions.
