Software Design for Data Transfer Between an Industrial Robot and Vision System

Industrial robots are integrated in the automatic assembly to reduce human errors and to lead time. In the meanwhile, vision system has an important role in the robotic guidance. The data transfer between the vision system and robots presents a great interesting challenge. This work focuses on the real-time control of a SCARA robot through multi-platforms software applications. The method of this design is based on Hue, Saturation and Value (HSV) color identification and a software model that provides the data transfer between different operating systems. The exchanged data needs synchronization and stability between the various operating systems. From the result, the proposed software solution can analyze the received data and safely send the feedback to the robot. This novel type of communication provides also a high precision and accuracy manner for the robotic arm.
