METR4810 Project Bin Pick'n: Gaze Oriented Robotic Garbage Extractor (G.O.R.G.E)

by Gundeep Somal, Erin McGrath, Nicholas Hiscox, Gabriella Griffiths

The uni’s bins are overflowing. The campus is overrun with cranky and belligerent ibis. Our garbage collectors are overwhelmed and need help! Your task is to build garbage robots to empty municipal wheelie bin contents, both regular garbage and recycling, into the appropriate delivery points. As wheelie bins are a bit large and our budget is only so big, you’ll be working with an appropriately scaled-down desktop-sized wheelie bins on an appropriately scaled-down miniature road. Don’t run over the ibis!
