experiments
  • 1 - Smart Pusher

    experiment "Smart Pusher"

    The pusher’s job is to move packages from the pick-up area of the game board to the gripper arm. To do so, the pusher must move back and forth along its predetermined path. The basic elements of the motion comprise following the line and reversing direction at the end of the line.


  • 2 - Smart Gripper

    experiment "Smart Gripper"

    The gripper arm’s job is to take the packages sent by the pusher and lift them onto the conveyor. This requires the programming of a series of movements with servomotors (twister, grabber and pivot.


  • 3 - Smart Sorter

    experiment "Smart Sorter"

    The sorter receives packages from the conveyor, which it must then transport to the right discharge area depending on the colour. To do so, it must first correctly identify the line, in order to remain on its predetermined path. At the same time, it must also obtain information about the section of the path where it is currently located, in order to determine the correct position to “discharge” the cargo.


  • 4 - Smart Conveyor

    experiment "Smart Conveyor"

    The basic task of the conveyor in combination with the factory devices is to transport a package to the sorting robot.
    In the learning loop, the students are instructed to equip the conveyor with a sorting function.
