Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to realize a biomimetic machine vision system taking proper images for state discrimination and manipulation of a 3-D object with the cooperation of eye movement and focusing, we developed two types of vision systems for supporting the collaboration of automatic inspection and visual inspection and for an aerial robot working at high altitude respectively. The vision system for collaborative inspection composes an entirely-in-focus image of a product and displays it for visual inspection. The stored images can be used for post-analysis of inspection results. The aerial robot is equipped with two robotic manipulators and an embedded vision system onto a multirotor platform for realizing high precision and complex aerial manipulation. The ARM based embedded vision system was developed for position and orientation control of the aerial robot for achieving complex manipulation task.
