Description Integration of a topographic optical microscope and a cobotic arm. This thesis aims to integrate a topographic optical sensor and a Yaskawa cobotic arm to automate the data acquisition method for quality control. Today, the manufacturing industry is making increasing use of automated methods of technological surface characterization. These, to cope with the increasing industrial use of components with complex and free-form shapes, have led to the development of advanced measurement systems integrable on robotic and cobotic arms. The thesis activity will: set up the communication system to establish a two-way connection between the sensor and the robotic arm, enable the automated measurement of different micrographs, moving the cobot in known and programmed positions. The activity of the thesis involves the scripting of C++ code after the exploitation of native libraries for the sensor and the cobot, as well as the possibility of discussing with the manufacturers of the two systems considered. The thesis is part of the development of the Mind4Lab laboratory of Industry 4.0 of DIGEP. Possible portability of the proposed solution on other cobot systems (UR10, Omron) can be considered.
