Application of Image Processing For Solving Numerical Puzzles Using A 3 DOF Robot
Abstract
The robot introduced in this paper is designed to solve numeral puzzles. Its control is totally by computer and has vision capability which leads its arm to certain places. In the control loop of the arm for identifying the top of the arm, image processing technique is used. Because of its polar movement on the plane, the design of the robot is considered an optimized one. The control orders are given to robot by a parallel port which obtains image from a camera through USB port. For numerical recognition a simple algorithm with the capability of learning new patterns is used. Noting that different conditions have not been given to the robot, therefore the robot is highly considered intelligent. Some of the robot characteristics include recognizing numbers by camera, 3 degree of freedom, polar movement of the plane, locating the arm of robot with the use of camera, and capability of learning simple numerical pattern. Such a system can be helpful as a benchmark in testing and performing image processing algorithms. An arm with 3 degrees of freedom as effector and a webcam as vision sensor has been used in the system. Processing of images should be done using a personal computer.
... Another application was the puzzle solver robot in which image processing is used to recognize the pattern by image processing based closed loop control [2]. ...
Image processing based tracking systems equipped with powerful computing systems have gained vast applications nowadays. In this paper, an image processing based tracking system and its algorithms is described. In order to separate desired colored patterns or nodes from the background in color image processing, hardware type filters are usually used. Here a software based filter is investigated.
Designing and manufacturing mechanisms that are able to move on a slope according to the gravity has been an issue of the interests of researchers recently. In this paper the designing and manufacturing a Passive biped robot with 3 degrees of freedom is presented. This robot is able to move down on slope with a minimum tangent based on the gravity and without any controller or any supplier. After presenting the governing equations and the dynamic of the robot, a computer simulation is done. Finally a comparison between the results from the physical model and the results from the numerical simulation is done to check the validity of the project.
