Application of Image Processing and Industrial Robot Arm for Quality Assurance Process of Production

Recently, in the new era of highly developed technology, image processing is becoming a more efficient and required sector in the industry, enterprise, monitoring, and other various systems. All these applications lead us to research the image processing techniques in the quality assurance process of production with an ABB IRB 120 industrial robot arm. There are numerous types of image processing methods that are used in the quality assurance process of products. Hence, in our experiment, we attempted to distinguish the normal and abnormal products, which are replaced by 3D objects using the image processing system and ABB industrial robot arm. Therefore, we used the OpenCV library to enhance our image processing system. This paper presents the combination work of image processing methods and usages with modeling the end-effector of ABB IRB 120 industrial robot, their programming and experimental results.
