Project Falcon: Item retrieval bot

The control chooses a container and the robot brings it to a designated location

James

The goal of the project was to design a robot that could move a container in a similar way to modern warehouse robots. The robot’s mechanisms are powered by the two main motors which are connected to the wheels as well as the servos which operate the claw and distance sensor. The robot uses a camera and two sensors to navigate. The color sensor tells the robot when it has reached the container. The distance sensor helps the robot grab the container and avoid crashing in the event of an error. The camera uses software to isolate the balls behind each container so that the robot can will always be able to line up with the container. The use of sensors and camera are important because they help correct the robot along the way greatly reducing the possibility of failure.
