An Image Processing Based Controller for a Three Degrees of Freedom Robotic Arm

Abstract

This paper presents the image processing based control approach for an industrial arm. Firstly, the dynamics of 3-DOF robot arm is developed. Then, a controller combined with image processing method on Matlab software is proposed. Finally, the robot arm is designed by using the Solidwork tool, which then is embedded in Matlab software to simulate the closed-loop system. The simulation results show that the robot arms work more reliably and accurately. From this result, the controller can be applied on an industrial robot arm to serve in industrial and agricultural production with high intelligence.
