Introduction and Project Summary

Our project is a package sorting system for cardboard boxes. Picking up and sorting boxes is a difficult mundane task. Our goal is to make a scalable system for sorting. We are going to incorporate a conveyer belt (Dog Treadmill) with laser sensors and a camera for object recognition. Then we will make a robot arm to pick up packages and move them to designated bins, as the conveyer belt spins.  We will write an algorithm to control the arm in coordination with the conveyer belt to maximize throughput.
