Abstract
A practical application of pattern recognition installed in the Renault factory at Cléon (France) is described. This concerns the automatic depalletisation of crankshafts by an industrial robot. The need for several types of sensors is stressed and the problems encountered during the installation discussed. The sensors used are: a TV camera with appropriate illumination and interface systems, a sonar carried by the robot, two photocells and several inductive sensors. The strategy of the management is of utmost importance to insure a high reliability of the system.
Presented at the 12th International Symposium on Industrial Robots, 9–11 June 1982, Paris, France
