Students at RoboAI Academy developed solutions for a company’s packaging automation need. Occasional errors occurred in manually packed supply kits, and the company sought a solution that would be easy to modify and replicate. The project team created two prototypes featuring Arduino-controlled LED guidance to help packers select the correct components for each order, reducing mistakes in the packaging process.
This project marked the third phase of the RoboDog project, in which a full 360-degree video feed was wirelessly transmitted from a mobile robot to VR glasses. The VR video feed is intended for use when operating the robot in hazardous production environments.
