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. This program will be developed with the intention to be used in every day robotics tasks, creating automation that can be utilised in daily life and in production methods to reduce time and labour.
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.
