Abstract

As smart manufacturing continues to evolve, computer vision and industrial robotics are poised to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the industry. Computer vision, driven by artificial intelligence, provides enhanced capabilities in perception, object recognition, and quality control. These technologies enable machines to interpret visual data, making it possible to automate complex tasks and improve overall production efficiency. In conjunction with computer vision, industrial robotics is becoming increasingly agile and adaptable. Collaborative robots, or cobots, are designed to work alongside human operators, facilitating flexible and efficient manufacturing processes. Their integration with computer vision systems allows for real-time feedback and dynamic adjustments, making manufacturing operations smarter and more responsive to changing demands. The convergence of computer vision and industrial robotics in smart manufacturing creates a synergy that provides numerous benefits, including reduced production errors, increased productivity, and improved safety. These technologies enable the automation of repetitive tasks, freeing up human workers ...
