In this Major Qualifying Project, a small-scale robotic system that sorts a classroom set of LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Education pieces back into kit trays was developed. Using AI and a mechanical part manipulation system, the robot sorts and counts individual pieces to ensure each kit is organized with the correct number and layout of pieces. The final design is effective, portable, and affordable for organizations who could benefit from it, such as schools, summer camps, and extracurricular programs who incorporate LEGO Robotics education into their curricula.
