The robot sorts black and white disks and discards objects of other colors. The robot is intended to simulate an airport conveyor belt: dispatching international (black disks) and domestic (white disks) baggage and discarding foreign objects (objects of other colors) from the conveyor belt. The project is described in detail on the poster for presentation.
-
Disc dispenser: Disc dispensers dispense black, white, and other colored disks onto the conveyor belt.
-
Conveyer: The conveyer transported discs.
-
Motion sensor: The motion sensor detects the presence of a disk on the conveyor belt.
-
Color sensor: The color sensor emits visible light and, based on the reflection, detects if an object is white, black, or another color.
-
Disc rotating sorter: The sorter rotates to dispense each disk into the correct box.
