- This 6 axis robot arm now as integrated vision functionality using OpenCV. This robot uses an Arduino based controller and Python interface programming as well as RoboDK. The AR3 & AR4 have been used in hundreds of hobby, educational and STEM programs to teach mechatronics, machining, 3D printing as well as programming. This desktop robot arm has also been used for a wide variety of industrial tasks such as welding, sorting, stacking and machine tending and has also been used in many filming and videography applications.

You're an inspiration for us all. Thank you for sharing.
Yea really, this is so helpful
Annin=Rockstar engineer
Amazing that you've incorporated vision into the software!
Amazing work!
Printed the parts for the AR4 but the electronics parts are a next year thing. since I got Unity OpenCV and IK experience I'm getting more hyped for building my AR4 by the day! Keep up the good work!
Grande Chris! Grazie per la condivisione. 😊
Great work, Thanks for sharing with us.
You are my hero, please keep up the great work
Awesome man!
Awesome work Chris
This is amazing I have been wanting to learn about camera integration!!
So amazing!!!
This is absolutely epic. Thank you for sharing. I purchased the complete kit from you and look forward to building this with my son.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you found the project.
Awesome, Great work!
thank you.
Thanks for sharing!!! You are awesome!!
thank you
Thank you for beeing you! I will soon order one or two of your robot kits !
Thank you! Happy to share the project and keep me posted if any questions.
Increíble muy buen proyecto
Amazing !
That is really impressive, the software to control it seems pretty easy to use too. I will definitely be following your channel now.
Thank you.
It looks amazing. One step closer to the tipping point where it can produce far more value that it costs to build. Would it be difficult to stack two plates, place some M12 SHCS, and fasten them together? I realize there's a ton of work left to do, but I'm looking forward to seeing these things assemble copies of themselves.
Great
Chris you are amazing! The way you explain everything and the level of design of your parts is very professional. I want to build this robot (AR4) and definitely want to buy your kit. Now you added vision control which blows my mind! I'm letting people know about your channel. I wish you all the success in the world.
Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
Hey Chris love ur content 🥰. Please do a video about ur lab, education, advice for engineers, managing finance 🙏
This is incredible. I used to work in industrial automation and this is almost on par with the $70k robots we had. Definitely better in some ways even.
Would this be capable of being mounted upside down and tracking an object in real time? I want to use it for fume and dust extraction when working on projects.
WOW 👍👍
Nice, cv rocks! Jarvis is coming, lol
Chris must have the record for how many times a wife has called a husband to bed. I cant get over this. Recently had my breakthrough in understanding somewhat complex arduino code then linking a ps3 remote to sharkvac motors and upgrading the code and then AR4.
Awesome update Chris I'll have to check it out.
What conveyor are you using? Any chance of integrating that into the software?
Its just a low cost conveyor I got from Amazon a while back. I had it setup with a through beam sensor to stop when a part is present and then the robot is just in a loop scanning for parts. You could certainly tie the conveyor into an arduino output relay from the robot too.
@@anninrobotics thanks for the info.
Did you run into any timing problems where the conveyor is on moving a part forward, robot vision sees and gets location of part and starts moving to grab it, meanwhile the conveyor keeps moving until the stop sensor triggers, making the robot miss the pick? Or did you calibrate it on that conveyor trigger point?
Cheers
👍
is there multicamera or vertical plane support? I have an application where items need to be picked from a paddle belt on an 80* up hill run.
Hi, the x1, y2, x2, y2 how the calibration work? Or it just merely a ratio convertion with the robot x1, y1, x2, y2?
Hello Chris, how far did you or other people go with the integration of these robots with ROS?
There is a link on the websites third party software page for a ROS repo for the AR3 put together by Dexter Ong. I started on a repo for the AR4 using ROS2 humble but Moveit2 doesn't work, has all kinds of issues bringing in the URDF. I put ROS on the back burner until they get the bugs worked out with ROS2 and have some better documentation.
@@anninrobotics Thank you Chris for the answer and for the amazing work you are doing. Several months ago I purchased your robot, and I plan to assemble it and integrate it with reinforcement learning and computer vision (and some other equipment). I was a Professor at RIT, and there I had a lab with FANUC and ABB robots. A small upgrade of a FANUC robot (just enabling an ethernet connection) used to cost us 10k. Industrial computer vision systems are also very expensive. Probably only medium and large-size industry players can afford them. The idea of developing low-cost industrial robots with open-source computer vision, programming, and machine learning is truly an amazing idea that can revolutionize manufacturing and automation. Many startups would be interested in such a technology.
Cool update! Does it use a Siamese network for object matching?
Thank you, it's just using open CV pattern matching.
Hello teacher, can I ask a question? What kind of interface can I use to go to any desired location on Scara robot from the computer?
Kind regards.
can this system use Blockly?
It's seems the AR4 aluminium parts are out of stock, where else can I get them please? Thank you, awesome video by the way
I have more parts being shipped and I hope to have them back in stock next week. Thank you
My kit just came in!!! I have a concern though. I had to 3d print most of the metal parts, due to being a hobbyist(not too experienced working with metal) and the aluminum kits sold out. Do you think it will be able to last at all?
Hello, I have combo kits back in stock and I should have aluminum kits back in stock tonight. The 3d printed robot should be fine it's payload just won't be as high and the rigidity is not as good.
So this OpenCV functions like IDS, but isn't exclusive to a specific camera brand?
Can I teach it to read batch numbers?
You can set up for any camera brand, it's setup to look for pattern matching I don't have it set up to look for reading numbers yet
Is it possible to preset job routines from a computer and then switch between and start/stop those job programs via tcpip or serial?
Also, thank you so much for what you have created! You are very much an inspiration to us all!
currently the programs are loaded and started through the PC interface. I do plan on adding remote functionality for starting, stopping and loading programs. I'm not sure how soon but its on my list and I'm always working on the next thing.
@@anninrobotics Seriously, I can’t thank you enough for all that you are doing to make this technology accessible. As a young inventor entrepreneur who’s trying to boot strap factory automation, I’m tremendously grateful for you and your amazing project.
I would like to use the AR control software with the vision function to drive a 3 axis H-bridge style machine that would pick up a dog-tag from a pile in a bin and load it into another machine so that the operator can focus on product assembly. Is this possible to do if I use the same electronics and motors spec’d for the AR4? I think by going with a lightweight but rigid H-bridge frame I’ll be able to achieve faster movement from the pick up position to the final position, am I correct in thinking this?
Also, is there a way, to use the rotational axes that are normally allocated for the AR4 robot arm to drive a conveyor belt? I ask because I would be using the three linear axes in the interface for the XYZ of the H-bridge. Is there a way to change a rotational axis to a linear one in the interface?
@@JoeFugallo im not sure how well it might work for picking out of a pile of parts as its geared toward template matching on a single background but it might work. The robot software is setup for 6 axis robot kinematics but the software does have a 7th, 8th and 9th axis control which might work for you. Please email me at info@anninrobotics.com with any other questions you have. Thank you very much.
what conveyor belt(brand/type) did you use for this test?
I'm not sure what brand it is, It was just a low cost conveyor I got from Amazon a while back. I added a reflective through beam sensor at the end to stop the motor. I think this was the conveyor www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MT1C80C
Hi Chris, can't find the vision calibration grid paper in your downloads documents
It should be in the folder you download for the GUI software. Email me at info@anninrobotics.com if you have trouble
