Robot Automation Demo
Demonstration
The demonstration video (15.8 MByte WMV) shows the robot picking up circular and square-shaped objects (made of foamed material) and stacking them on the right side of the table. At the end of the demonstration the objects are sorted by shape. Bala Amavasai implemented the vision software using the Mimas-toolkit. The robot environment was set up in cooperation with Martin Howarth.
Setup
The setup is using a low-cost Unibrain firewire camera and a laptop PC with GNU/Linux and the demo-software which was developed using Mimas. The Stäubli robot can be controlled by specifying point-to-point trajectories and giving commands for operating the gripper.
