ABSTRACT:
A pickup system comprising a robot having a gripping member fitted with a camera for acquiring an image of the object to be picked up, which image is supplied to a control section by which it is processed for determining a predetermined point, typically the center, of the object by generating shifted inverted images of the object and intersecting the shifted inverted images and the original image.
