Abstract :
An uncalibrated, vision-guided robotic system, based on the method of camera-space manipulation, has been developed to reduce the time and cost associated with teaching a robot a suitable trajectory for plasma coating. The system achieves a high level of precision in both position and orientation control of a 6-DOF robotic arm
