| Abstract: | Purpose – This paper's aim is to assess the practical advances resulting from progress in artificial intelligence affecting vision-equipped robots. Design/methodology/approach – A short history of artificial intelligence applied to robotic hand-eye coordination is followed by a description of some of the milestones in pattern recognition, interfacing, operating systems and programming paradigms. Finally, a range of current-day practical applications is given, from industrial to student project. Findings – The paper finds that advances in the speed and robustness of pattern recognition algorithms have been very important in the development of robots that adapt to randomly positioned workpieces. Event-triggered object oriented programming, wide address buses, smart cameras, ethernet and other standard cables and communications formats, and the ever-increasing power of computers are also of great practical importance. Originality/value – The paper contrasts the current state of robotic vision with that 20 years ago. |
