Not lengthy ago, I was discussing the challenges of producing a semi-autonomous painting robot. I brought to the table my knowledge in the carwash business, which I think to be valid and related to making such a device. In truth, a lot of years ago now, I recommended that there necessary to be a commercially viable painting robot on the market and that the individual bringing this innovation to actual fruition would stand to make a ton of cash.
An acquaintance of mine suggested that a vision system would be needed to seriously create a system that worked. Well yes, I agree that vision sensors make sense, and I know there are several quite hassle-free Operating Systems which encompass Optical Flow Sensors, those are less expensive than sonar or lidar robotic components.
Plus, with an optical flow sensor + video, you can do tele-robic function too, and then use your video feeds to adjust your software program and various degree of freedom on your robotic arm. Okay so, the paint high quality control requirements do indeed lend themselves nicely to a vision program.
Indeed, I asked my acquaintance "are you applying any artificial intelligence? If so, you could hook this thing up for tele-robotic painters to sit on a laptop and do the painting, and when they produced a spray pass they liked, they could enter it as "OK" and when they didn't they could hit "Delete Information" and then in this way it would study. And you could watch the video associate with the entry and edit the caliber of quality?"
One more essential point would be the types of spray hints and if it were feasible to use off the shelf painting nozzles? With the correct nozzles and an AI technique, then the vision method would be the icing on the cake. It appears that there are some good robotic program options employed in the robotic anti-bomb units which police frequently use, I imagine these are on the market all over the globe, so those off-the-shelf systems are nicely designed for your line of innovation.
So it sounds like my acquaintance may be the vibrant-star knocking at the door of discovery here, and can be the 1 to bring this terrific invention to the world, which will make the planet a far better and even more pleasant place.
What about the device's robotic arm, could we use an arm normally discovered in automatic Tv satellite dishes, so, it ought to be set up for azimuth, skew, and elevation. So, then it has at present three-axis is that right? Possibly, we could use the same software which would also function from that sort of device to locate its mark and then move into position to begin? When it starts then we can use computer software to guide it based on the information coming forth from sensors set up with the vision program which would have optical recognition to spray about issues autonomously?
It would appear to me that soon, pretty soon an individual will figure this all out and build a superb autonomous painting robot, and personally I can't wait to see it happen. Please look at all this and assume on it.
