Design And Simulation Of Vision Based Robotic Arm Using ROS

Abstract

A multistage technique for simulating a vision-based 6-DOF (Degrees of Freedom) robotic arm manipulator is described in this research. The major goal of this project is to connect a vision system with a 6-DOF robotic arm to expand the capabilities of the combined camera-robot system. Since the robotic arm does not yet have an integrated vision system, a camera has been mounted above the robot's workspace to accomplish the desired results. This system was modelled in ROS (Robot Operating System), and the main issues are developing a suitable sequence of activities, implementing adequate communication between camera and robot, and integrating with the system components in ROS.
