Today, industrial robots play a significant role in the automotive industry. There are several workflows in the industry that can only be solved efficiently and productively with robots. These robots are equipped with various accessories, such as grippers, sensors and, if necessary, an image processing system. There are tasks where traditional robot programming with fixed coordinates is not enough; visual information about the workspace and workpiece is needed. The problem, especially in smaller companies, is that the existing robot needs to be upgraded, for example, with a visual sensor and an image processing system, but this is usually difficult and costly for older robots and robot controllers. The aim of my research is to create a solution that allows a robot controller to be economically equipped with an image processing system that is not prepared for this at the factory. All that is required for the controller to be able to communicate with the outside world via some communication interface. An external image processing system, which can be a standard PC with the appropriate camera and software, is required. The image processing software running on the PC communicates with the robot controller, and the robot program receives the necessary information from the image processing system via the communication channel.
