Robot for Sorting Dowels

Dowel Robot Group Picture

About this Project

The purpose of this robot was to accept two sets of differently-coloured dowels in a reservoir and to then align, sort, and package them in plastic boxes according to a pattern selected by the user.

I designed the circuitry for the motors controlling the conveyor belt, agitation of the reservoirs, and the dowel dispensors, as well as the circuitry for the various sensors used to monitor position of the dowels and boxes.
