Abstract

The present application discloses an automatic stevedore remote station (ASRA) (50) having a camera (60) that can detect the presence, distance, shape and orientation of an inter-box connector (twistlock) (52) via machine vision. The ASRA (50) also has a gripper (64) and a twister (66) which can move to the detected inter-box connector (52) and remove/install the inter-box connector from/onto a shipping container (94) according to detected results. The automatic stevedore remote station (ASRA) (50) is provided in the form of an industrial robot that can move both the camera (60) and its end effector (64, 66) together for handling the inter-box connector (52) at a busy wharf in a flexible and efficient manner.
