Programming in Python

In this project we used the python language to control the robotic arm and the robot cart.

Line Following

The robot cart follows the line by using two line-following sensors located on the front of the cart. The cart automatically turns when it detects it's not on the line.

Reading and Processing Sensor Data

The robot cart has a color sensor and an ultrasonic sensor mounted on the side to help it find the correct bin. The data from both sensors are incoporated in the program logic to minimize the chance of misidentifying bins.

Controlling the Robotic Arm

The robotic arm picks up the container from the sorting table and place it on top of the cart. The arm is able to load multiple containers with the same destination to the cart to maximize efficiency.
