“…There is little repeated about the study on searching for initial position of the weld seam and guiding the welding robot based vision sensors. Juan Zapata, Rafel Vilar, Ramon Ruix [18], Sukhomay pal, Surjya K.pal, Arun.K.Sanmaritory [19], Abhijit Nagehaudhuri,Sastng Kuruganty,Asif shaur, [20] It intends to concentrate on seam path, shape which will be given by the torch posture and welding parameters. The solidifying characteristic and complex influence of various forces during welding should also be taken for consideration.…”

“…Such automation work can also be used as an education tool to demonstrate flexible manufacturing concepts to students as seen in the works of Nagchaudhuri in [4][5][6]. In [5,6], students carried out a project requiring them to use a SCARA robot, which was fitted with a two finger gripper, to manipulate the arbitrary placed letters H, E, L (two), O from the workplane of the robot to predefined locations to read HELLO.…”

The work-plane of the robot was covered by an overhead CCD camera and the students were required to develop appropriate software programs to recognize the letters and then achieve the above task.…”

-This paper reports the development of a vision system to automatically classify work-pieces with respect to their shape and color together with determining their location for manipulation by an in-house developed pick-and-place robot from its work-plane. The visionbased pick-and-place robot has been developed as part of a smart flexible manufacturing system for unloading work-pieces for drilling operations at a drilling workstation from an automatic guided vehicle designed to transport the work-pieces in the manufacturing workcell. Work-pieces with three different shapes and five different colors are scattered on the work-plane of the robot and manipulated based on the shape and color specification by the user through a graphical user interface. The number of corners and the hue, saturation, and value of the colors are used for shape and color recognition respectively in this work. Due to the distinct nature of the feature vectors for the fifteen work-piece classes, all work-pieces were successfully classified using minimum distance classification during repeated experimentations with work-pieces scattered randomly on the work-plane.

“…The DC servo-motor which forms the base of these devices is used to demonstrate the speed control experiments reported in this paper. Photograph [3] shows the "Dual Water Tank" system. The system consists of two small watertanks one on top of the other and a water reservoir at the bottom of the lower tank.…”

In this paper digital control solutions for speed control of direct current (DC) motor and level control of dual water tank system are described using conventional control algorithms such as (PID (Proportional + Integral + Derivative) and PI (Proportional + Integral)), as well as intelligent control algorithms based on fuzzy logic. The control algorithms are developed in the Simulink graphical programming environment. Using Real-time Workshop (RTW) build tools an optimized "C" language code is generated and compiled for real-time execution on the devices using a Visual C/C++ compiler, seamlessly. Appropriate software tools have also been utilized to allow remote activation of the systems. This capability allows realistic CAD (Computer Aided Design) drawings that accurately represent the physical systems on the remote terminals to exhibit appropriate motion corresponding to the actual movement of the physical system in the laboratory. The setup is used for experiential learning and research efforts involving engineering and computer science majors at the university, as well as for demonstration purposes for the introductory Control Systems (ENGE 382) and Instrumentation (ENGE 380) courses offered by the author for engineering majors.
