Development of a 2D Measurement System for Implementation in Robots Used for Industrial Parts Verification

Abstract

Due to the high quality demands in the manufacturing industry, there is a need for strict and reliable quality inspection processes and/or systems. In Honduras there is a large need for robot implementations, some of the main reasons for a lack of high use levels are insufficient financial and training resources. The main objective of this study is to offer a robotic end effector capable of detecting and calculation the dimension of objects in a 2D plane using a lidar sensor and by way of the development of a measurement algorithm using computer vision. With the tools and guidelines obtained using the hierarchical method t was possible to develop a 2D measurement system for implementation in robots used for industrial parts verification. The system counts with the capability to auto adjust and take into account the distance at which the camera is located when detecting and thus measuring object. it is able to measure a number of object obtaining there height and width. The values for precision of the system are 88% obtaining the height and 85% calculating the width. Confirming that the development is capable of detection and measuring object in a 2D plane.
