Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments and methods of a visual guidance and recognition system requiring no calibration. One embodiment of the system comprises a servo actuated manipulator configured to perform a function, a camera mounted on the face plate of the manipulator, and a recognition controller configured to acquire a two dimensional image of the work piece. The manipulator controller is configured to receive and store the face plate position at a distance “A” between the reference work piece and the manipulator along an axis of the reference work piece when the reference work piece is in the camera's region of interest. The recognition controller is configured to learn the work piece from the image and the distance “A”. During operation, a work piece is recognized with the system, and the manipulator is accurately positioned with respect to the work piece so that the manipulator can accurately perform its function.

Abstract: A robotic end effector system and method having a plurality of end effectors which are selectively suitable for particular applications on a workpiece. The end effectors include a resident controller adapted to execute tasks specific to the end effector and are rapidly attachable and removable from the robot for easy change over to different workpieces.
