Abstract: Due to the lack of depth information, using 2D drawings to guide robotic manufacturing is difficult, such as stud welding and drilling. In this paper, a new algorithm, Fast-Pixel-Matching (FPM), is proposed to provide depth information for precise point positioning based on 2D drawings and structured light cameras. Based on our experiment, the efficiency of the FPM process is found to be at least 20 times higher than the brute-force search (BFS) method. Also, we demonstrated that the algorithm can be applied to automated stud welding, where the efficiency of positioning can be significantly improved and the positioning accuracy of the proposed method meets the code requirements.
