%X ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This paper discusses an algorithm incorporating a knowledge-based vision system into an industrial robot system for handling parts intelligently. A continuous fuzzy controller was employed to extract boundary information in a computationally efficient way. The developed algorithm for on-line part recognition using fuzzy logic is shown to be an effective solution to extract the geometric features of objects. The proposed edge vector representation method provides enough geometric information and facilitates the object geometric reconstruction for gripping planning. Furthermore, a part-handling model was created by extracting the grasp features from the geometric features. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie artikel beskryf Ąźn kennis-gebaseerde visiesisteemalgoritme wat in ĄŻn industri§Śle robotsisteem ingesluit word om sodoende intelligente komponenthantering te bewerkstellig. ĄŻn Kontinue wasige beheerder is gebruik om allerlei objekinligting deur middel van ĄŻn effektiewe berekeningsmetode te bepaal. Die ontwikkelde algoritme vir aan-lyn komponentherkenning maak gebruik van wasige logika en word bewys as ĄŻn effektiewe metode om geometriese inligting van objekte te bepaal. Die voorgestelde grensvektormetode verskaf voldoende inligting en maak geometriese rekonstruksie van die objek moontlik om greepbeplanning te kan doen. Voorts is ĄŻn komponenthanteringsmodel ontwikkel deur die grypkenmerke af te lei uit die geometriese eienskappe.
