Software for a non-contacting robot inspection cell

Robots have been employed for over a decade to perform simple repetitive tasks. In recent years however, with the advent of improved control systems, cheap microprocessors and the development of a range of sensors, the potential of the industrial robot has greatly increased. This research examines t...
