For a binary image that contains multiple blobs we must first transform it using connectivity analysis or region labeling. Then we can describe each of the blobs in the scene we first need to transform the image using connectivity analysis. Each of the blobs can then be described in terms of its area, centroid position, […]

Actuators are the components that actually move the robot’s joint. So let’s look at a few different actuation technologies that are used in robots.

Let’s recap the important points from the topics we have covered about image features, blobs, connectivity analysis, and blob parameters such as centroid position, area, bounding box, moments, equivalent ellipse, and perimeter.

The human eye is quite amazing, let’s look at its various components including the light sensitive rod and cone cells.

A robot joint controller is a type of feedback control system which is an old and well understood technique. We will learn how to assemble the various mechatronic components such as motors, gearboxes, sensors, electronics and embedded computing in a feedback configuration to implement a robot joint controller.

A characteristic of inverse kinematics is that there is often more than one solution, that is, more than one set of joint angles gives exactly the same end-effector pose.

A more efficient trajectory has a trapezoidal velocity profile.

We will learn how to create coordinate frames that have smoothly changing position and orientation over time.
