We designed and built an autonomous ball collection and depositing robot by integrating the TIVA LaunchPad with different electronic components for sensing and actuation, encapsulated in a clean mechanical design.
ME218B: Smart Product Design Applications
Autonomous Driving robot ball collector
This year's project was called "The Great Pacific Garbage Patch" with the aim of designing and building a machine that can autonomously navigate the ocean and clean up marine debris.
This video shows the complete competition.
Watch as the ME 218B robots autonomously navigate the Pacific and compete to see who can clean it up the best! Earn points for throwing trash away, or more points for sucessfully recycling them!
