Abstract
Method and automatic system for the determination and the classification of foods based on a high-speed manipulation robot aided by a localization system which is capable of detecting the food which comes along a transport system in a random fashion without contact between one and the other, and to classify it; the robot incorporates a manipulation grip wherein a sensor which permits the determination and classification of the food is housed.
Claims7
Automatic method for the determination and classification of foods which comprises at least the following stages:
- feeding of the food to be classified into a transport system along which the food moves,
- determination using a localization system of the position, orientation, geometry and size of the food,
- positioning of the robotized grip on the food, thanks to the information obtained by the localization system,
- data collection using positioning on the food a sensor present in the robotized grip and classification of the food in accordance with the data obtained by the sensor,
- separation of the food classified.
Automatic system for the determination and classification of foods which comprises at least:
- a transport system along which the food moves,
- a localization system of the position, orientation, geometry and size of the food,
- a robotized grip which is positioned on the food, thanks to the information obtained by the localization system,
- at least one sensor present in the robotized grip for the classification of the food
