Abstract
A robot vision supervisor system for use with industrial robots being placed with average home consumers or at restaurants that is capable of guiding the robot to its homing position for initial homing or when a loss of reference has occurred. Further the robot vision supervisor is able to detect presence of unidentified foreign objects in the workspace and guide the robot to navigate around and prevent collisions. Image processing algorithms are used with primary, orthogonal and cross camera arrays to increase reliability and accuracy of the robot vision supervisor. Lookup tables of images are captured and stored by controller for discretized positions in the full robot workspace when robot is in known good calibration to compare with images during regular operation for detecting anomalies.
