IMAGE PROCESSING OF SORTING ROBOT

Abstract

The project aims to create a proto-type robotic pick and place system which includes mechatronics sorting system solution with the application of image processing for pick and place mechanism. It synchronizes the movement of robotic arm to pick the objects moving on a conveyor belt. It aims in classifying the objects which are coming on the conveyor by picking and placing the objects in their respective preprogrammed places. An image processing algorithm that distinguishes the objects with the help of camera from captured image of an object. The captured image of that object placed on the conveyer belt is saved and fed into the computer. Then processing algorithm in PROCESSING IDE software processes the image type and sends respective commands to the Arduino microcontroller which then controls the robotic arm. The Robotic arm picks the sorted objects and places them on their respective pre-programmed places. Thus a cost effective Mechatronics system
