In this paper, a novel precise pick and place device (PPD) is proposed for robotic manipulators. It is capable of accurately picking the work pieces and placing them when they are deviated from their initial taught picking positions. In addition, a new muti-line identification algorithm is also developed, which is very effective, especially when the obtained data is limited but needs precise identification. Moreover, the design and implementation of PPD are developed, including hardware design, control algorithm, muti-line fitting approach, offsets calculation and compensation of inverse kinematics, etc. The advantages of PPD are low cost, effective algorithm with high accuracy, when compare with vision or other traditional approaches. Numerous pick and place experiments have been conducted and the results are satisfied.
