The authors describe the use of stereo pairs of images to specify robot motion. The experimental setup includes a SUN workstation, a PUMA 560 robot, and an Imaging 151 vision system. An X-window environment displays stereo images of the work scene. Image processing is performed to extract linear edge segments from the images and the results are displayed on screen. Using a pointing device, the user selects a group of edges from the object relevant to the task. The 3D structure of this group of features is found by stereo triangulation and they can be displayed in 3D from any point of view. A viewpoint orthogonal to the plane defined by these 3D edges is used to specify the robot position relative to object position. The actual robot will then be moved to the specified position.
