摘      要：Robots are extensively used in industries for their precision work and amount of work that one can obtain without any defects. In this paper we are using a gantry robot for as it does not occupy the floor space therefore reducing the distance for reachability of the parts and hence reducing unnecessary material for guide way. Robots work in strictly defined path and there is no or very little change in such systems in order to overcome this we are using a vision based control system to make the system dynamic in nature the images are picked by using a USB camera processed images of the object is transmitted via serial communication to the Arduino Mega 2560 microcontroller and processed using pythons open source computer vision (Open CV) image to process the image captured by the USB camera to find the exact colour and to pick the object and sort it.
