Controlling a Robotic Manipulator Using Optical Feedback

Abstract

the results of controlling a robotic manipulator using optical feedback are presented. Algorithms for object of interest control points coordinates recognition are described. Robotic manipulator control algorithms, according to data received from a technical vision system, are described. Experimental results showed that the position adjustment of the manipulator using the coordinates obtained by the technical vision system improves manipulator positioning accuracy in the working area. There is no need in accurate installation of the object of interest in the working area, since the robotic manipulator position fine-tuning made according to the coordinates obtained from the vision system.
