Abstract
Flexible part feeding is a concept used in conjunction with a robotic manipulator, whereby the robot uses its vision system to locate parts that are randomly scattered on the feeder's presentation surface. This setup presents some new challenges for the vision system due to the stochastic nature of flexible feeding. Randomly-oriented parts have to be positively identified and accurately located everywhere within the camera's field of view. Considerations regarding vision analysis for flexible feeding are discussed. Recommendations for successful vision programming to identify and disambiguate stable poses of parts including some advanced techniques are also provided. Several such systems have been successfully deployed in the industry. Flexible Mechanical Assembly Ultimat( ' flexibility of an assembl:- ' cell would denote that two different products of similar scale and
