Non-static Vision Guided Pneumatic Pick and Place Robotic System with Shared Supervisory Control

The purpose of this research is to develop a vision guided pneumatic pick and place robotic system with shared supervisory control where it is highly desirable in the current industry and is in line with the industrial revolution 4.0 that is currently being developed around the globe. In this research, a non-static Pixy camera CMUcam5 is being used as the vision sensor that provides cues to the movement of the pick and place system in an automatic mode. The sensor will receive the data from the image captured and process it to do the desired task. The system uses Arduino microcontroller and the PS2 controller starter kit wireless transmitter or SKPSW, which is tested in the manual and automatic mode. The supervisory control project is developed by using the PS2 controller as a base system that will send the data from the remote control and send output data to the system. Operational test results show that the shared supervisory control is well executed in both manual and automatic mode. The vision sensor also guides the pick and place robot to handle two objects in the automatic modes with successful attempts.
