Explore how to use machine vision and LabVIEW to autonomously guide a robotic arm to a target of arbitrary size and distance. LabVIEW matched optical templates to images from binocular cameras with parallel axes to drive stepper motors to rotate vertical and horizontal joints and extend a boom. The median displacement of the center of the target from the center of the cameras’ fields of view was calculated by processing serial optical images of the target.
