Abstract
Robotics are used every day more to assist on the different processes that take place around the
world: from manufacturing, medicine and many more areas in which human work needs to be
eased, rather because there is an overload on the needed effort, a necessity for high precision
or for the hazard that the process itself implies, among others.
Collaborative robots have an enormous capacity to carry out a variety of tasks; however, there
is always a restriction to them, they are “blind”. Robots can perform tasks which they are
programmed to do, but in principle they lack of tools that will allow them to view their surrounding
and interact accordingly with it. Different technologies have been developed to overcome this
barrier.
The objective of the project is to develop the integration between a tridimensional scanning
laser technology with a collaborative robot, so that the robot can execute a scan over a working
surface. After completing the scanning routine, the obtained information shall be analyzed with a
vision system that will be developed, for giving the robot, later on, interpretation of the obtained
data and the ability to subsequently take decisions of the actions to be made and the location of
the different objects present. A progressive research will be implemented, so that the necessary
tools to accomplish the objectives can be developed, to obtain ultimately a whole integrated
vision system.
