Hi Chris,
It seems to me that for the first time in history, kids could have a robot
that can do the thing they hate most. Putting their toys away. This could be
a very effective way to show kids the importance of robotics.
Clearly, you have given this a lot of thought. I am glad that someone else
is interested in this problem. By the way, I really like your caliper device.
There is a way to accomplish part identification without real recognition
software. It would involve a stage for viewing the pieces that would have a
white background. Then I could have the camera move its way around the part
in effect measuring it in much the same way as a coordinate measuring
machine. This combined with weighing the parts could determine their
identities. But this process would be time consuming and so would not be
practical. So now I am wondering about real object recognition software for
use with the Vision Command system.
If you or anyone else knows of any books that discuss object recognition I
would like to have your recommendation.
Also, if anyone out there is working in the field of vision recognition,
please chime in.
And lastly, do any of you think this is a good challenge for the First Lego
League?
Thanks, John

| (...) I don't want to discourage your efforts, but I view this as more of an academic exercise than anything that is likely to result in a practical brick sorting machine. There is so much variation in size and shape of the pieces in a typical mound (...) (22 years ago, 13-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics.vc)

| (...) Well this depends on a number of things, primarily how do you sort: by color, by size/shape, or both? Several books have been published about LEGO MindStorms, and a large percentage of them seem to have plans for a "sort bricks by color" robot (...) (22 years ago, 12-Apr-03, to lugnet.robotics.vc)
