Robotic arm detection in the 2D space

摘要

This paper presents the robotic arm recognition in space. The method uses special markings to detect the robotic arm in space. These markings are placed in key parts of the robotic arm, at the joints, over each motor, this way to detect the robot's movement. This movement detection method is similar what when person's movements are recorded to create a computer game with human movement or when sportsmen's movement is recorded to analyze their performance. In our case the markings are blue spots which are placed on specific parts of the robot. The colored spots are detected with camera and image detection algorithm. On the image is overlaid the number of the detected colored spot and they are also united with some lines overlaid on the image. This way we can get skeleton of the moving robotic arm.
