the stuff, including students work, research and
develop with a variety of industrial robots of the KUKA
Robot Group. One task is the integration of a vision
system to control an industrial robot. The aim was
to create an inspection station for work piece quality
control, where the students are able to create a variety
of automated processes. The main task is to establish
the communication between the vision system and
the robot controller KRC 2 Edition 2005. Furthermore
a workstation should be created for interested students
where they can expand their knowledge in the field
of robotics and image processing. In the following,
this communication between the robot and the
camera is described, as well as specifics on the
program structure and ultimately the inspection station
for work piece quality control is illustrated with
an example application.
