The goal of the proposed work is to develop the Automated inspection system for sorting of circular and non-circular objects in the conveyor system. There is a robotic manipulator at the end of conveyor system to perform this sorting operation. The manipulator and conveyor’s control software were developed by LabVIEW and Raspberry pi and these two are interfaced by using MQTT protocol. We also used OpenCV algorithm for object detection and tracking. In addition to that, a vision system was developed at the middle of the conveyor system and integrated with the manipulator system. This whole process is initiated, monitored and stopped using LabVIEW. The developed vision system allowed detection of object within the manipulator’s work-space. It is observed that, the performance of the automated system is very high as compared to manual inspection system.
