Object Recognition Warehouse Robot
Summary
A robot that recohnizes certain shapes and navigates it’s way accordingly, I am going to build this robot because I liked the idea of the amazon warehouse robot and the projects made by a guy named James Bruton, and I really wanna learn about object recognition through this project. I already have some experience making robots using arduino, so it will be something new for me.
Plan
I will be using the jetson nano as the brain of this project, the raspberry pi wont be enough for this and the jetson nano will be a better alternative , I will be using a camera for the detection and I am planning to add more sensors and actuators to it in the future(like a beanbag gripper arm).
The Steps:
- Learn how to use the jetson nano
- Connect my laptop to the jetson nano using a vnc
- Train the AI model on the jetson nano using basic shapes for easier recognition
- Build the robot, then program the robot using python
- Test the robot.

Note: I have mentioned everything I need for the robot, I have an old chassis which used for an arduino project, so I can use that again
