This is a demonstration of our program recognizing a red, blue and yellow piece of paper. The green circles in the video show where the program has detected objects of the right color.

We have taken the robot apart such that we could work on the robotic arm and the IRobot separately. Today we have put them back together and this is the result.
Smooth motion for moving the arm in a certain amount of time is finished. This is a preview on how it works.

This structure is needed for holding the laptop which will process the input video from the webcam and give the needed commands to the irobot and lynx arm to pick up some objects

After thoughtful reconsiderations and some tips from our professor we came to the conclusion that the robot can be built much easier if we use a robotic arm instead of building the structure using a broom and a dustpan.
So we took off our metallic structure from our iRobot and then we placed the robotic arm on the new structure.
This was our first attempt to build intelli trashcan. Our idea was to add a broom and a dustpan to collect the trash from the ground. After the garbage was swept into the dustpan, it would rise and then drop the garbage into the bin.
Hello,
We’re a team of 3 students from Babeş-Bolyai University (Cluj Napoca, Romania) and our current project is to build an intelligent trash can robot.
The idea is simple: let’s build a robot which you can put in your room, leave it there and when it auto-detects new trash on the floor it goes there, picks it up, and returns to its original position. Simple, intelligent and clean – IntelliTrashcan.
We will publish details of our project as we go on and the steps of building it, so don’t forget to check us out in a few days!
