Industrial robot programming relies on a suitable interface between a human operator and the robot hardware. This interface has evolved through the years to facilitate the task of programming, making possible, for example, to position a robot at real time with a handheld unit, or designing ‘offline’ the layout and operation of a complex industrial process in the GUI of a computer application. The different approaches to robot programming aim to increasing rates of efficiency without impairing already assumed capacities of the programming environment, like stability control, precision or safety. Some of these approaches have found their way in computer vision, and the last generation of image sensors boosts today many applications, inside and outside the automation industry, featuring extended capabilities in a new low-cost market. The Kinect™ sensor from Microsoft® emerged in the market of video game consoles in 2010, based around a webcam-style add-on peripheral for the Xbox 360™ console, enabling gamers to control and interact with it through a natural user interface using gestures and spoken commands. Nevertheless, the project was aimed at broadening the Xbox 360’s audience beyond its typical gamer base and in 2011 Microsoft released the Kinect SDK for Windows® 7, allowing developers to write Kinect applications in C++/CLI, C# and Visual Basic .NET™. The aim of this thesis is the design, implementation, testing and documentation of the software capable of identifying, tracking, locating and representing three objects in real time, based on their color characteristic, through the use of the Kinect sensor. Such a system is also the beginning of an interface for robot programming. The sensor is to be programmed in C++ language using the Kinect for Windows SDK and the Desktop App UI for Windows. The OpenCV library is the tool for the image processing algorithms. For this thesis, the IDE selected for programming is Visual Studio 2012, running in a 32-bit OS. ; Ingeniería Industrial
