Can robots finally handle transparent objects? the answer is a cautious “yes, if they see differently” As automation expands across manufacturing, logistics, and food service, one stubborn problem has continued to limit robotic deployment: handling transparent and reflective objects. From glassware and plastic packaging to polished metal components, these materials routinely confuse conventional vision systems, forcing costly human intervention.
