Warehouse Bot

In my Embedded Systems I class, myself and three other students were tasked to build a UAV on he “CyBot” platform to solve a real-world problem.

Our problem statement:

We want to simulate a robot in a warehouse environment that has the goal to move to desired location and gather specified information/deliver payload.

Warehouse employees would use this to optimize the efficiency of object deliverance. In a similar use-case, Data Center engineers could use a similar robotic system to photos of servers racks to capture of the physical state of a rack without having to physically be present.

Just a few videos of testing the robot…

Object detection with two objects. Robot was programmed to turn to the largest object and drive towards it without colliding

Object detection with three objects. Robot was programmed to point at smallest object after scanning the field

Not every test was success
