Abstract

In this paper we present considerations for implementing and using robot vision in glass production. We concentrate specifically on the forming processes of those shell glass objects that are still produced with a considerable amount of manual labour. It is shown that every practical robot automation solution in these production phases must include the perception of the glass object’s shape, implemented with computer vision. A number of particular requirements and conditions are identified, originating from high and ever changing temperature and from specific production environment conditions.
