Abstract
A simple and inexpensive method for object recognition based on fiber optics is presented. A methodology for object recognition integrated with a three-fingered robot hand is proposed. The conceptual design, system control and software structure are described, and an example of the use of the recognition process is included. The proposed method has been demonstrated to offer good discrimination for object differentiation in cases where there is a large degree of similarity among the objects
