APPLICATION OF VISUAL SYSTEM FOR HAND CONTROL OF 3D MANIPULATOR
Journal Title: Archives of Mechanical Technology and Materials - Year 2015, Vol 35, Issue
Abstract
The article concerns controlling of a 3-axles manipulator by hand movement, recognized by visual system. In the investigations the Kinect sensor was used, which enabled the acquiring of 2D hand images with depth parameter. The OpenCV library was used for recognition of hand position in a real-time computer based control system. The control program was written in C++ language, which allows the processing of 15 frames per second. The proposed control system enabled to operate the manipulator with the same frequency.

Testing of beveled crimp connections made on a prototype stand
The purpose of this study is to form and test inseparable tight joints, commonly used in the construction of heat exchangers, by crimping operation on designed prototype stand. Crimped joints are made by tools in form of...
Austenite transformation simulation for a controlled rolling processing technology development
Using an originally-developed computer model and appropriate software the impact of deformation on austenite phase transformation in low carbon alloyed steel was carried out. The computer simulation takes into account an...
The influence of the type of coating on the cutting tool wear during turning of 316L austenitic stainless steel
The paper presents the influence of coatings applied with the use of PVD method on cutting tools on the wear of the tool and compares it with an uncoated P25 cemented carbide plate. During the experiment, two types of Ti...
The use of IR thermography to show the mold and part temperature evolution in injection molding
This study concerns the application of infrared camera for injection molding analysis by measuring temperatures of both injection molded parts and injection mold cavities in a function of injection cycles. The mold with...
