Synopsis
How can a robot assemble a jigsaw puzzle from first look to finished picture?
This book shows a complete approach that blends vision, software, and hardware to solve complex puzzles.
It explains how a robot uses cameras and sensors to identify puzzle pieces, measure their positions, and feed data into a software system. The workflow combines three major steps: digitizing piece boundaries, scoring matchings between pieces, and applying a global strategy to assemble the frame and then the inner pieces. The methods are tied to real hardware, including how the IBM 7565 robot and a light table work together, and how feedback between the robot and software improves results over time.
- Vision and data capture that determine piece shapes and centers of gravity for precise handling
- Two-stage algorithms: perimeter assembly followed by inner-piece placement, with dynamic programming for refinement
- Robot–software interaction, including feedback cycles to improve the puzzle solution
- Practical hardware notes, sensing, and considerations for reliable assembly
Ideal for readers interested in robotics, automation, and practical AI applications, this edition explains both the theory and the hardware challenges of automated puzzle assembly.
