Winner of the Best Workshop Award of the Blavatnic School of Computer Science and AI.
Introducing TidyBot, an innovative robotic solution that transforms room tidying. This cutting-edge system combines a mobile base with a budget 6DoF robotic arm to autonomously locate, collect, and neatly stack used cups scattered across a room.
Key Features:
- Intelligent Detection: Utilizes budget-friendly ultrasonic sensors for efficient cup localization
- Versatile Pickup: Capable of grasping cups in various orientations, including upright and sideways
- Precise Stacking: Arranges collected cups into a single, organized pile
- Modular Design: Integrates an iRobot Create 3 platform with a myCobot 280 robotic arm
TidyBot showcases the potential of affordable robotics in practical applications. Developed by a team of undergraduate computer science students, this project demonstrates the fusion of motion planning, sensor integration, and robotic manipulation.
