Pick and place robot using the centre of gravity value of the moving object

Pick and place is one of the typical application for which industrial robots are used. There are various methods in which this action can be performed. The important part of this pick and place operation include teaching the robot about the specific object to be picked. This process can be done in different ways such as using sensors and another method involve image processing to differentiate the actual object to be picked from the surrounding. This paper mainly concentrates on the method of differentiating the object from it surrounding using image processing and picked through its centre of gravity.
