Abstract
Disclosed is a guiding apparatus for use with a machine to facilitate performing an action along a self-guided path on a substrate. The guiding apparatus may include a support member configured to be attached to at least a portion of the machine. Further, the guiding apparatus may include one or more of lighting units, optical sensors, controllers, and user interface components, mounted on the support member, configured to identify an object, obtain position of the object on a substrate and perform an action along a self-guided path in association with that object on the substrate.
Claims20
A self-guided apparatus for use with a machine to facilitate performing an action along a self-guided path on a substrate, wherein the self-guided apparatus comprises:
- a support member configured to be attached to at least a portion of the machine;
- one or more of lighting units, optical sensors, controllers, and user interface components, mounted on the support member, configured to:
- identify an object;
- obtain position of the object on a substrate;
- and
- perform an action along a self-guided path in association with that object on the substrate.
A computer implemented method to facilitate performing an action along a self-guided path on a substrate, wherein the computer implemented method comprises:
- identifying an object on a substrate;
- obtaining position of the object on the substrate;
- and
- performing an action along a self-guided path in association with that object on the substrate.
A system for performing an action along a self-guided path on a substrate comprising:
- a sewing machine;
- a guiding apparatus;
- a vision system;
- and
- one or more computing devices, the one or more computing devices capable of facilitating communication between the sewing machine and the guiding apparatus, and implementing sewing instructions,
- wherein the system is configured to function in one or more of the multiple available modes include a calibration mode, an inspection mode, a training mode, and an operation mode.
