Design and development of the sorting system based on robot

Abstract

Sorting is one of the important tasks in production line. Using Robot to increase productivity in automatic sorting system interests a large of researchers. In this paper, we recommend a sorting system based on Robot that can identify the position and properties of objects. The sorting system uses the camera placed on the top of the mechanical conveyor belt. With the images captured by the camera, the software will perform the algorithms to identify the location and characteristics of the object (ei. tomatoes), the data of objects is used by pick and place process that synchronize with controller of robot. The sorting process comprising the steps of: detecting the object, determine the object properties (ei. color, size, shape, ...), locate the object, calculate the actual gripping position, the results of the sorting process will be stored and converted into signals to communicate with the control system of robot to perform the sorting tasks. The algorithms will be experimented on Delta robot 3 D.O.F, results will be analyzed and evaluated to calculate the workspace of Robots, so that the productivity and energy efficiency is appropriate.
