A low cost 3D vision system for positioning welding mobile robots using a FPGA prototyping system

The aim of this work is to explore some solutions for artificial vision systems applied to welding autonomous robots. We take advantage from the UNSHADES-1 system, developed in Filiation (blind for evaluation). This system can be used for building a powerful 3D vision system. The system concentrates and processes the three images in parallel, producing an accurate value of the position, that can be improved if the relative position of the cameras are well defined.
