For my IPT major project I have decided to make an automated warehousing solution for a hypothetical company which stores and delivers refrigerators and freezers. It should pick up a fridge, store it in an available space on the storage grid and record that spot on the computer. When asked to retrieve an item, search for its coordinate and return it to the pick up point. In this blog I will cover the development of the scaled prototype of the robot from start to finish, but not the documentation.
In more detail it will require a:
- X-axis (Driven by two motors)
- Y-axis (Driven by one motor)
- Z-axis (Driven by a servo which lowers a string)
- An electromagnet (Magnetises to pick up a steel plate attached to the top of the box (hypothetical fridges)
It will most probably be made out of lego, and be programmed using an Arduino Uno.
