Robotic imaging system (RIS)
15 HEC Engineering project
Bookshelf-like layout for the Robotic Imaging System (RIS) has several important benefits:
-
It has standalone illumination for growth and imaging
-
Somewhat more stable strategy for picking up plates compared to the previously considered Robotic Arm solution
-
Imaging is performed under the same illumination conditions, which makes image analysis much more easy
Things left to be done for RIS before it can be implemented:
-
Fixing the software (the version provided in the report has bugs)
-
Fixing hardware (rpi4 case, PSU case, motor shield case, wires covers, printing numbers on plate holders etc.)
-
Building the cabinet for the robot
Facility
​
-
Prusa i3 MK3 3D printer is readily available in our group
-
All running costs will be covered by our group. Please provide us with invoices!
Grading
​
-
All hardware and software developed in this project should be available to our group
-
A comprehensive report should be provided by the end of the project.
-
Top grade: the robot makes at least 90% of the planned images and has a user-friendly interface for coordinates input
-
Medium grade:the robot makes at least 90% of the planned images
-
Low grade: the Parkinson's-like tremor is cured
