Artificial vision for manipulators: A review

Abstract

Industrial robots cover most of the field of technology and are most successfully applied in machining, in motion modelling, in capturing and moving objects of research. In recent times, the complexity and variety of industrial robots and robotic manipulators have increased significantly. These are purposefully designed to attain a much greater level of independence than what is seen in conventional mechanical manipulators. In this article the classification of different configurations of manipulators and analysis of manipulators with artificial vision on the existing research of scientists is conducted. Also, the article analyzes the development of a manipulator with six degrees of freedom and the use of analytical methods to analyze the geometric structure of 3D data for optimal object recognition.
