Unified Robotics III

Abstract:

In this project, we used a 3 DOF robotic manipulator and a USB webcam to implement an automated pick and place system. Through image processing, the system was able to detect and locate objects of a specific color. Using forward and inverse position and velocity kinematics, we developed a program to command a robotic arm to pick and place colored spheres until there were none remaining in the workspace. This system was also capable of sorting a specific non-spherical random object and able to dynamically track an object.

A more detailed description of the project can be found within our lab report (attached below). You can see the robot in action in the YouTube video attached.
