ABSTRACT:
The positioning system of an industrial robot having a vision sensor and structured light pattern projector, such as a welding robot, is centered and vectored along a joint to be tracked. Navigation information derived from the scene is used to compute move microvectors; the next move vector is extracted and computed while the current move vector is executed. To track 90.degree. corners and small radius turns, the parallelism between two lines formed by the intersection of concentric circular arc light stripes and the joint edges is determined. When the parallelism is out of limits the previously calculated microvector is used until parallelism is re-established.
