A Design of Path Planning System for UP6 Industrial Robot Based on Machine Vision

This paper introduces operational path planning system of visual industrial robot, which could be applied to arc welding, cutting and gluing. It depicts a calibration method of camera coordinate. It gains environmental messages via the method of image acquisition. It uses the method of image procession to process the signals acquired. It fulfills robotic real-time control and offline programming. Practice has proved that this system has high repeatability precision, which can meet the challenge of arc welding, cutting and gluing, and also meet the needs of production line.
