Apera AI makes computer vision software using artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies.

4D Vision for robotic automation

Apera AI can give your robots human-like speed, sight and perception. It's now possible to make your bin picking, packaging and assembly workcells fast, reliable and precise.

Webinar

How ‘4D Vision’ opens more applications for robotic automation

On Tuesday, March 28 from 10:00-10:30 a.m. PT, Buchanan Automation and Apera AI will review the applications of 4D Vision technology.

Learn about:
• The inner workings of AI-powered 4D Vision.
• How the project model changes to reduce risk and increase performance certainty.
• Application examples in bin picking, packaging, machine tending and more.
