Machine Vision-Based Automatic Placement System for Solenoid Housing

摘要

This paper proposes a machine vision-based, servo-controlled delta robotic system for solenoid housing placement. The system consists of a charge-coupled device camera and a delta robot. To begin the placement process, the solenoid housing targets inside the camera field were identified and used to guide the delta robot to the grabbing zone according to the calibrated homography transformation. To determine the angle of solenoid housing, image preprocessing was then implemented in order to rotate the target object to assemble with the solenoid coil. Finally, the solenoid housing was grabbed automatically and placed in the collecting box. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed system can help to reduce operator fatigue and to achieve high-quality placements.
