Abstract
The cylindrical object are widely used as mechanical parts in the manufacturing process. In order to handling those objects using a robot or an automated machine automatically, the pose of the object must be known. The pose can be described by two rotation angles; one angle about the x axis and the other about the y axis. In the many previous researches these angles were obtained by the computationally intensive algorithm, that is, fitting the data as a polynomial and doing pseudo inverse. So that, this method required high performance microprocessor. In this paper in order to avoid complex computation, a new method based on a genetic algorithm is proposed and analyzed through a series of simulations. This algorithm utilized the geometry of the cylindrical shape. The simulation results show that this method find the pose angles very well In most cases, but the computation time is randomly changed because the genetic algorithm is basically one of the random search method.
