Task 2
1) SORTING OF OBJECTS BASED ON COLOUR BY PICK AND PLACE ROBOTIC ARM AND WITH CONVEYOR BELT ARRANGEMENT
Funded by: Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University
Investigator: Dharmannagari Vinay Kumar Reddy
Institution: Vidya Jyothi Institute of Technology and Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University
Research Paper: http://www.ijmerr.com/ijmerradmin/upload/ijmerr_52cd7526a7286.pdf
This research waas conducted by Dharmannagari Vinay Kumar Reddy was an autonomous robot that could sort objects on a moving conveyor belt by color. The purpose of this topic was to design a robot that could handle menial tasks on a mass scale, that a human would find too time-consuming. The robot itself is built as a robotic arm that can pick up the object depending on color and then move it to the respective area.
2) OBJECT SORTING SYSTEM USING ROBOTIC ARM
Funded by: Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College
Investigators: Vishnu R. Kale and V. A. Kulkarni
Institution: Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College
Research Paper: http://peastech.in/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/14015.pdf
This research was conducted in June 2013 in order to investigate how methods of color sorting robots and their mechanims of identifying different colors could be improved. The robotic arm picks up an object on a conveyor belt, takes a picture, and processes the color in real-time.
3) STUDY ON THE TARGET RECOGNTION AND LOCATION TECHNOLOGY OF INDUSTRIAL SORTING ROBOT BASED ON MACHINE VISION
Funded by: Biological Computation Project (BCP)
Investigators: Arturo Perez
Institution: University of Alberta
Research Paper: http://ejournals.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/eureka/article/view/22825
Arturo Perez designed a simple industrial sorting robot in order to investigat the methods of identification that autonomous robots use in the biological Computation Project at the University of Alberta. He observed and recorded multiple ways in which a lego brick sorting robot behaves and can be operated in order to achieve the desired results, especially in comparison to Lemming, the same kind of lego sorting robot that utlizies ultrasonic sensors.
