Abstract

This article presents the integration of the KUKA robot standard control system with a National Instruments 1742 Smart Camera. Described solution allows remote robot motion planning via TCP/IP protocol. Project develops a complete library for LabView environment, giving user the possibility to create their own solutions of managing camera capability. The library also allows to create applications for camera and the external computer to generate robot’s trajectory. The main advantage of this approach is the application of ready-made algorithms, containing the LabVIEW environment of object detection as well as building a completely new algorithms related to pattern recognition. The process of trajectory generation and robot control is performed via Internet, allowing a remote usage of the research stand.
