PROJECT TOPICComputer Vision & Embedded AI
Multi-Object Sorting Delta Robot
A packaging automation project concept studying parallel robot kinematics, conveyor belt optical tracking, and dynamic trajectory blending to pick and sort fast-moving items.
High-Speed Parallel Kinematics & Tracking
- ✓Achieves high cycle rates due to low moving mass on carbon fiber parallel arms.
- ✓Synchronizes robot motions with moving conveyor belts using rotary encoder feedback.
- ✓Demonstrates real-time object classification and multi-bin distribution.
The Engineering Challenge
Problem / Objective
Serial robotic arms have high inertia and cannot achieve the 100+ picks per minute required in high-speed food and small parts packaging.
