The incursion of industrial robots in the artistic field has managed to maintain great success.Many companies that are dedicated to the art of designing, sculpting, painting, building works of art, and even maintaining artisan traditions are now using industrial robots for their projects.
The house of the mosaic or tiles is an artistic method dedicated to designing and elaborating figures, pictures and works of art from small pieces of ceramic, glass, stone or other materials.
Using new technologies as a tool in this type of process has increased quality and competitiveness. Assembling this type of ceramic requires manipulating shapes, colors, and sizes to create a mosaic which takes a lot of attention and dedication to detail. Doing it manuallycan take more time and is also more expensive.
Professor LledóMuserosCabedo, is an accredited professor at the university at the Jaume I University of Castellón., along with the C4R2 (Cognition for Robotics Research) research group at the Jaume I University of Castellón (of which the professor was part of the Cognition for Robotics Research research group for over 11 years, the group for which she was the lead researcher). They designed a robotic system that allows building ceramics automatically. Based on a qualitative theory for object recognition.
Qualitative reasoning is the reasoning related to the non-numerical description of a system. When introducing the application of qualitative theories in the ceramic industry—in particular to the problem of ceramic tile assembly—it is possible because it is an industrial process where the available information is variable. Since there are no two equal ceramic pieces and the sensor system will take it as an impression.
This system applied to the automatic and intelligent assembly of ceramic mosaics. identifies and recognizes the different types of objects and their shapes
The elements that make up this technological development are a conveyor belt, a manipulator arm and a vision system.
How Does the System Work?
The computer receives a design in vector format, of a ceramic mosaic to be assembled and then makes aqualitative description of the mosaic. Images of the small pieces that go on a conveyor belt are captured through the vision system where it identifies the small pieces that belong to the design.The new system then estimates the movements made by the industrial robots to manipulate the part and locate it according to the orientation indicated by design. This is how the robot captures the initial and final position of the pieces on the assembly line, like the angle of rotation that the robot performs to position the part.
As a result, a mosaic assembly is automatically and intelligently developed, developed by a qualitative theory that performs object recognition, through an automated robotic system.
