Revolutionizing Robot Sorting: Unleashing the Power of Dobot Magician Arm’s Kinematics Inverse Transformation System with Depth Camera

The rapid growth of online shopping and package deliveries has tremendously burdened security personnel in offices and institutions. The accumulation of unsorted packages creates disorder and delays when owners come to collect their items, as security personnel have limited time amidst their other critical responsibilities. To revolutionize this process, we propose an exciting and important solution: an automated sorting system leveraging the capabilities of an Arm Robot. The Arm Robot offers a compact sorting mechanism that optimizes space utilization, addressing the limitations of traditional manual sorting. However, accurately identifying the position of each package presents a formidable challenge. The key lies in precise positioning, enabling the robotic arm to retrieve and sort the packages efficiently. To achieve this, we introduce the incorporation of a Depth camera, providing reliable X, Y, and Z position values. This integration facilitates the transformation of 2D Depth images into a comprehensive 3D representation. The resulting data is then translated to align with the orientation axis of the Arm Robot. Utilize Inverse Kinematic calculations to convert the 3D positions into corresponding joint angles for the Robot to achieve optimal robotic arm motion. Our research focuses on utilizing the Arm Robot Magician, renowned for its industry-standard system and versatility. The experiment achieves an exceptional average error rate of merely 3.86% through meticulous design and implementation, ensuring high precision and accuracy in package sorting. The proposed solution harnesses the novelty and power of combining Arm Robot technology with Depth camera integration, providing a reliable system for package sorting.
