NIST USA-Agile Robotics Industrial Automation Competition

This page is a work log of the progress my team and I are making in the Agile Robotics Industrial Automation Competition, conducted as part of the ‘Building a Manufacturing Robot Software System’ taught at the University of Maryland, College Park.

The project is done by leveraging the power of ROS 1 and is coded in C++ 11/14. format.

Log 4 (Final-Log): 2nd December 2020 :

This is the final release of the programme. The code was developed to detect faulty parts, avoid humans, plan the path as per moving obstacles with data from a big suite of break-beam sensors, quality sensors, and logical cameras. The code has also been tweaked to automate the conveyor belt process.

Log 3: 18th November 2020 :

The programme developed avoids humans in the obstacle space. The programme also intelligently detects a blackout of sensors in the environment, and reacts accordingly. This programme also embodies all the developments made over the past two months.

Log 2: 4th November 2020 :

The programme understands orders of higher priority and executes them first. Gantry also flips a part when it is placed wrongly and places them right!

Log 1: 21st October 2020 :

Trying to pick up and deliver parts to the Automated Ground Vehicle (AGV). The gantry also checks for faulty parts and replaces them as necessary.
