After the first tests, I realized several serious shortcomings. The S2 servo motor turned out to be too weak to move the metal arm, so I replaced it with a stronger model up to 35kg/cm. Another problem was the lack of electricity for all servo-motors and to solve it in such a way that there is no risk of overheating the Arduino. The solution was to modify the code to balance the hand positions and change the power source to a higher output with an output from 1.5A to 3A (Universal with the ability to change the voltage). In addition, the old head was too small to hold the skewer, so I replaced it with a new one with a wide contact surface adapted for good control of a thin wooden skewer. For even moremobility, I also added another servo motor between S3 and S2.

SORTING BRICKS BY COLOUR USING THE NIRYO ARM BY JOSEPH TOWNEND

The goal of the project

The goal of my project was to build a robotic arm that would grab items off of a plate, and place them into containers depending on their colour.


Project details

The system uses a Niryo One robot arm to identify and pick up bricks based on their colours. It uses a camera to recognize different colours. Once the colours are identified, the robot arm moves to grab the bricks from the workstation using a grabber module and delivers them to a redetermined area. This system will run until the workspace is empty, which is identified by the camera.

Problems in the project

Conclusion

In conclusion, this project was successful at the task of sorting Lego bricks by their colour.
