In this work, an industrial robot has been connected
with a vision system, as this becomes increasingly
relevant in the industry. The following Figure 3
visualizes the considered experimental setup.
Objects, which should be scanned, must be
located in the image area of the camera. The image
area is located within the workspace of the robot.
Due to safety, the working area is limited, so that
stationary objects are not touched and people do not get
in danger. After the experimental setup, the necessity
of robot programming and image processing has been
described. During the implementation of the vision
system, settings must be made in order to avoid an
unnecessarily long cycle time. Likewise, the vision
system should inspect only key features of the objects
and then provide the results to the robot.
