I'll make love to you with ping pong for multifaceted inspection of three-dimensional objects

We want to inspect not only one surface but also multiple surfaces from various angles. In this case, one method is to use a robot to grasp the workpiece and inspect it while changing its position under the camera. However, it is often more cost effective to simply increase the number of cameras [...].
