Abstract The control system for a robot arm is an ongoing image processing project for which many enhancements have been done during the last years. The paper introduces a new control system for a robot arm, developed in the Electrical Engineering Department. The control is represented by the robot's movements of grabbing and moving objects located on an operational table to user selected destination points. The enhancements involve robot visual-based automatic calibration with respect to the working field axes and scale, fast and robust object detection. A self-calibration algorithm, based on video motion and color detection, is used in order to provide a good conversion of the objects' coordinates from the image space into the working area coordinates system. The algorithm proves to be general enough to be employed in other similar image processing based scenarios where self-calibration might be useful. |
