A nonstop classification system using 5DOF robot and camera

In this project, a classification prototype was developed using a 5DOF robot and a camera system. The image processing system is used to detect the objects for position, orientation and color with high accuracy based on Hough-line functions. From the acquisition information collected, the robot will catch proper objects and arranges them into a storage. In order to obtain high-accuracy picking behaviors in the nonstop working conditions, proper inverse kinematics and optimal path planning algorithm were adopted. Experimental results achieved show the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed prototype.
