The thesis presents the integration of a laser meter and an industrial robot for capturing a 3D image of the workpiece and generating a tool path that enables further robotic processing. In our case, we used a laser profilometer, which had been integrated with an industrial robot. The communication between the meter and the robot was carried out using socket network communication, and then the captured data were calibrated and transformed with a global transformation to obtain points in the robot's coordinate system. For further robotic processing, the path generated on the captured 3D point cloud was sent to the robotic arm via FTP network communication.
