Abstract
As manufacturing and industry continues its growth to meet demands, new and more efficient industrial systems must be developed and validated. As such, machine vision systems, for example, can be integrated with robotic systems for improved results. These robots can autonomously identify trained components in conjunction with a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to perform industrial tasks that are more efficient. This research project resulted in the complete integration and configuration of a vision system and articulated robot, that was controller by an external PLC for autonomous product detection.
