Abstract

The presented optical tracking system allows
intuitive controlling and programming of industrial robots by
demonstration. The system is engineered with low cost
components. Using an active marker (IR-LEDs) in combination
with a stereo vision configuration of the camera system and the
selection of suitable algorithms for the process chain of the image
processing a positioning accuracy in the range of millimeters has
been achieved. The communication between the tracking system
and the robot is realized by using the TCP/IP protocol via an
Ethernet connection.
