Visual Servo Robotic Arm Control System Based on LabVIEW

Abstract

A robotic arm control system based on LabVIEW and FPGA is presented in this paper. It is built with USB camera, PC, FPGA development board and 4-DOF robotic arm. In a way with high performance-price ratio and strong expandability, the system achieves a series of functions: capturing and processing images, identifying the target, planning the path, driving the actuators, and finally, grasping the target. Users can not only monitor the situation of the workbench, but also real-timely grasp the object in the area.
