Abstract:

A method for vision-based tool localization (VTL) in a robotic assembly system including one or more calibrated cameras, the method comprising capturing a plurality of images of the tool contact area from a plurality of different vantage points, determining an estimated position of the tool contact area based on an image, and refining the estimated position based on another image from another vantage point. The method further comprises providing the refined position to the robotic assembly system to enable accurate control of the tool by the robotic assembly system.
