This paper presents a solution for a robotic manipulation problem. We formulate the problem as combining target identification, tracking and interception. The task in our solution is sensing a target on a conveyor belt and then intercepting robot’s end-effector at a convenient rendezvous point. We used an object recognition method which identifies the target and finds its position from visualiz...

This paper introduces a novel approach for performing non-invasive particle size analysis for a material stream running on a standard conveyor belt. The measurements, carried out with a 3D laser scanner and a measuring belt weigher, are accurate, robust and real world physical measures. The 3D data obtained with the laser scanner enables more accurate analysis than the spatial monochrome or col...

A synchronous-profiling, low-position-cutting, flexible-reel-belt-conveyor, low-loss soybean header was designed to address the problems of a lack harvesting machines supporting soybean-corn strip intercropping, few existing headers, and high loss rate headers. By establishing dynamic model synchronous-profiling cutting device, key structure operation parameters that affect performance synchron...

A method for detecting coal flow on a belt conveyor based the two-dimensional laser is proposed in this paper to tackle complications of poor accuracy and real-time detection conveyor. This collects point cloud data surface lateral profile using two-position probe transmits with industrial Internet assure reliability transmission. The upper computer software system designed LabVIEW software. im...

Belt conveyors are commonly used for the transportation of bulk materials. The most characteristic design feature is fact that thousands idlers supporting moving belt. One critical elements idler rolling element bearing, which requires monitoring and diagnostics to prevent potential failure. Due number be monitored, size conveyor, risk accident when dealing with rotating belts, all (i.e., using...
