Research on the Design of Smart Paint Robot

This paper design the smart robot system which can capture the characteristics of image using image processing and control algorithm with vc++programming. The system can obtain clear image contour through complex image processing of Edge Drawing (ED) algorithm with HALCON image processing software, and complete the portrait drawing with mechanical arm of three-axis motion control through the line interpolation algorithm and running speed control. Then the system control the amount of spraying pump dominated by shaft motor control card, stepper motors, drives and detection sensing device etc., so as to achieve clear and coherent sketch portrait painting effect. Test shows that the design of robot take no more than 10 minutes to paint a portrait, much faster than the street artists. It can be used for food prints and other wide commercial applications.
