Robotic Arm with Computer Vision
Robotic Arm with Computer Vision - Picking Up the Object Idea The main idea behind this project was to create an environment where a robotic arm can execute various commands based on image analysis of a scene. In this article, I will describe each part of the project in detail. For the first task, I focused on detecting and moving a single object. Environment The setup consists of several components assembled together. I used an old table as the base, repainting it white to provide better contrast with the objects. The robotic arm, which I purchased from eBay, is mounted on the middle of the longer side of the table. The arm has six servo motors, including a rotating base and claws at the other end. The parts are made of aluminum and are quite sturdy. Next, I cut and mounted perforated metal ledges to the corners of the table, securing everything together. I then attached an RGB LED strip to the bottom side of the top part of the structure. Finally, I placed a USB ca...
