In the application of industrial robots main and still increasing role play automation systems controlling their work. In order to enable the automation and a sense of intelligence we used vision systems. This paper describes industrial robot control software running on a PC. Information about the robot workspace is collected on by a video camera. The main robot task is to search items lying on the special table, and then move them to the place indicated by the operator. We developed appropriate objects searching algorithms for industrial robot. Those algorithms are based on object features (shape and color). We also describe communication between the robot, the computer and the camera. The proposed algorithms are implemented in C ++ (PC) and RAPID (robot) languages. The paper presents examples of using the application and tests system performance. It should also be noted that developed and described in the article system is based on very cheap to buy parts.
