Abstract :
Recent research and development in industrial robotics aims at improving robustness, flexibility and intelligence of industrial robot applications. In this paper, the method of applying the 2D vision technique for enhanced industrial robot´s intelligence in picking/placing operation is presented. The approach addresses the concerns and solutions related to 2D vision system setup, robot system setup, and robot programming. The result shows that the developed method is effective for improved accuracy, flexibility, and intelligence in vision-guided robot operations.
