Development of mobile robot with vision inspection system and three-axis robot

Abstract

Automatic factories have become the trend nowadays. In the applications of the automated production line, mobile robots play an important part of connecting among workstations. In this paper, a mobile robot with vision system was developed for the transportation, gripping and identification. First, the structure of mobile platform is combined with extrusion, aluminum board and Mecanum wheel and digital signal processor (DSP) is adopted as the main controller. A long trip three-axis robot is constructed by the three sliders on the mobile platform. It can let the robot arm to grip object from the large area. Finally, the image is processed by the vision of raspberry PI on the robot. Vision system can identify mark and selects mission to command the robot move agilely in designation region. Finally, the basic movements and missions required for the storage car can be done efficiently.
