An Approach to Automated Programming of Industrial Robots Based on Graphic Data

The article contains the design and implementation of a system for automatic program generation for an industrial robot, based on the graphical input recorded by camera. The content is divided into two parts. The first section deals with processing the visual data acquired from an external source to appropriate form, using edge identification and transformation from raster to vector image. The second part deals with the automatic program generation for industrial robot. The article describes different possible approaches to solution. The selected way of solution was implemented in real environment in a chosen programming language. The final section of the article presents the results of experiments, together with the overall evaluation of the results.
