"Robot, pick up the screws and put these in the orange box!"

BSc assignment

Who would not like to shout out generic human-level commands to a robot? AGI is not there yet, but agentic AI is already quite capable. But AI also needs a hand...

 

The assignment involves designing and testing a robot limb for the SmartXP robot (top-left picture) with ESP-C5 controller. We keep it simple by using hobby or smart servos (Dynamixel XL-320 etc) and make it remote controlled through a web interface.

 

Implementing some form of agentic AI (using a mobile phone for camera&processing?) could be an extension of this assignment, or a separate one in parallel.

 

This BSc assignment mimicks the MSc version at https://www.ram.eemcs.utwente.nl/education/assignments/relbot-pick-screws-and-throw-them-orange-box but uses a far simpler robot framework specifically aimed at BSc courses.
