Low-cost parallel delta robot for a pick-and-place application with the support of the vision system

Abstract

The main topic of this paper is how to develop pick and place delta robot with high efficiency mechanical parts and prosaically assemble it, additionally built electrical wiring diagram all of this supported by vision computer system. The system has a low-cost part and solves many problems to build this robot. Electrical section has two main components master and slave the master is raspberry pi and slave is Arduino, master is used to vision detect object and Arduino is used to invers kinematics equation, move motors to target position, control in hydraulic system to pull the object with suction cup. The process of vison system is passing through some steps, detect the object by color range, contouring box then send the real position to an Arduino. The experimental process proved the effectiveness and accuracy of the delta robot vision system in the sorting process from conveyor system. The target of system that function is applied with a low cost.
