Abstract

Robot manipulators take a major place in many industrial applications. Major research efforts have been dedicated toward design and implementation of parallel kinematic robot manipulators. They possess many favourable characteristics such as high speed, and they are normally used as replacement of traditional series manipulators. The aim of this paper is to develop, design., and implement a fully-automated parallel kinematic robot that is capable of accurately detect, locate, pick., and place an object to target position using machine vision within industrial environmental conditions. A proof-of-concept prototype has been applied and validated via several test cases. The test cases have confirmed the ability of the proposed design to detect, locate, pick, and place an object accurately within less than 10 mm error.
