Design Project 3
There's A Recyclable Among Us:
Design of System for Sorting and Recycling Containers
For project 3, I was assigned new team members to work with. As always, we were, instructed to assign new administrative positions for each team member for project 3, which is different from our prior roles in the previous projects. This time, I was assigned the subject matter expert role, and I was in charge of keeping track and compiling all research sources that we used for the project. In this project, our team was required to design a system for successfully sorting and recycling different container classifications at a recycling facility with the use of a variety of robotic components. Project 3, same as project 2, was split into two components, writing a program that takes full advantage of the turntable, robotic arm, and terrestrial drone for dispatch, and design a model of a dispatching mechanism that is secured on top of the terrestrial drone, which allows the containers to be dumped efficiently. To conquer both tasks, my team divided into two sub-teams: computing and modelling. This time, I was a part of the modelling sub-team and worked alongside my teammate, Ronit. For more details on the project and to see the final design, please check out our milestones found on the project 3 milestones page.
