Modern test and automation machines often require some level of integration between vision and motion sub-systems to increase flexibility or performance. Depending on application requirements, engineers can apply different approaches and technologies to accomplish tasks like motion guidance, camera positioning and many more. In this session we will focus on visual servoing, a technique where information is extracted from an image and is used as a control parameter for a motion control system. You will learn about benefits and challenges of this low-level integration and we will discuss use cases and approaches when designing visual servoing applications based on reconfigurable I/O (RIO) technology.
