Overall Need for Design
• Prevention of food poisoning epidemic, recalls, and packaging money loss for packing bad food.
• Design Milestones– Proposals sent out to companies (02/08)– Materials Bought (02/08)– Rough Designs for Robotic Arm and Image
Processor done (02/08)
Tasks Completed
• Parts being tested for the Arm (Hardware and software)
• Narrowed down processing techniques • Materials List drafted• Acquired Southwest Research Institute Lab to
conduct design implementation• Access to multiple cameras through SwRI• Robotic Arm Slider Construction Done
Ongoing Tasks
• Design and tests for Robotic Arm and Image Processing
• Ordering parts (Sensors)• Preparing proposals for company funding– Non-Disclosure Agreement
• Acquire a Conveyor Belt– Looking at one specifically from a company selling
Upcoming Tasks
• Start and test schematic/flow diagram of Robotic Arm and Image Processor
• Robotic Arm: Design a PID controller and test Accelerometer.
• Image Processor: Start coding feature vectors and the support vector machine.
• Test Conveyor Belt with Arm Slider
