Controlled robotic cell using visual servoing

In this work, the design and implementation of an automated robotic cell is described. The proposed robotic cell is composed by two anthropomorphic robot of three degrees of freedom (ROTRADIS) and a conveyor belt. The system automation is performance using the Visual Servoing technique, which is used as main element of visual feedback information through a conventional web camera and as interface an Arduino board. Also, an electromechanical design for the movement system the conveyor belt is proposed; the control and power stages implemented are described as well as their applications to the system. Thereby, a mechatronic system completely controlled by visual information is obtained, which can be used for various tasks, which may influence the educational field and research.
