Vision guided parallel robot and its application for automated assembly task

The article deals with the application of vision guided parallel robot FANUC M-1iA for automated assembly process. Vision system is used for object identification and filtering the data about its position and orientation. Control system based on iR Vision system can process data collected from camera Sony XC-56 fixed to the frame and navigate the end-effector to grasp and move selected objects. Integration of vision guided robot control into the high speed parallel robot can be highly productive. The functionality of vision guided robot system is demonstrated at automated assembly process of USB memory stick with variable positioning of its components.
