Camera Vision System for Automation of Sub-assembly Line in Shipbuilding

Abstract

Multiple robot welding system for sub-assembly welding line has been developed and in order to realize automatic welding system, robots have to be equipped with sensing system to recognize the position of the welding panels. In this research, camera vision system is developed to detect the position of base panels for sub-assembly line in shipbuilding. Two camera vision systems are used in different stages (Fitting and Welding stage) to automate recognition and position of welding lines
