Comau Robotic 3-D Tetris

Abstract

The goal of our project is to build a device (hardware and software) to allow a robotic system to pack a series of unknown objects into a container. The final deliverable uses the camera’s depth stream to generate a point cloud, while segmentation parses this data to create a dimensioned bounding box of the object. The bin packing algorithm uses these dimensions to calculate the object’s ideal placement within the bin, while the graphical user interface displays the placement of each object for system monitoring.
