Abstract: A method and apparatus uses naturally occurring object features as targets in a machine vision based robot (or other) guidance system. In one embodiment, a special high speed processor finds at least 3 pre-selected feature points on an object, which when considered with the data base for the object, allows a rapid 6 degree of freedom solution for the object location relative to the camera and thence connected automation. While primarily envisioned for industrial robots, the invention is useful for all sorts of machines including vehicles, construction machinery and the like--anywhere the target object has a known data base relative to the features in question.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for "Intelligent" control of production processes such as machining, casting, heat treating and welding are disclosed. The key enabler of such control is electro-optical or other suitable sensors, generally non contact, capable of rapidly and accurately acquiring data from parts and tools used to produce them in a production "in-process" environment. Systems are disclosed to control not only the instant operation, but those processes connected therewith, both upstream and downstream. Data bases are generated and knowledge bases are used. Application of the invention can improve quality and productivity, and allow the production of parts which have unusual or individual material characteristics.
