Integration of Deep Learning Vision Systems in Collaborative Robotics for Real-Time Applications

Abstract

Collaborative robotics and computer vision systems are increasingly important in automating complex industrial tasks with greater safety and productivity. This work presents an integrated vision system powered by a trained neural network and coupled with a collaborative robot for real-time sorting and quality inspection in a food product conveyor process. Multiple object detection models were trained on custom datasets using advanced augmentation techniques to optimize performance. The proposed system achieved a detection and classification accuracy of 98%, successfully processing more than 600 items with high efficiency and low computational cost. Unlike conventional solutions that rely on ROS (Robot Operating System), this implementation used a Windows-based Python framework for greater accessibility and industrial compatibility. The results demonstrated the reliability and industrial applicability of the solution, offering a scalable and accurate methodology that can be adapted to various industrial applications.
