Integration of robotic arm with vision system

Abstract

This paper presents a system for seamless integration of vision system with a robotic arm for part segregation. In this system geometric properties of the object are identified and a Robotic arm is used to segregate them based on shape and size. The entire process is achieved in three stages. At first, a camera captures the image of the object and its output is processed using image processing techniques implemented in MATLAB, in order to identify the object. Secondly, design a Robotic arm with 5 degrees of freedom and develop a program to move the robotic arm. Thirdly, integrate the vision system with Robotic arm by making it to segregate the objects based on the desired output of the smart camera.
