The objective of the Lab is to reproduce a robotic operation of sorting goods and palletizing in a logistics warehouse under the supervision of a web server (figure 1). The goods (red and green pucks) are placed randomly by an operator and transported by the conveyor. Arriving in the gripping zone (figure 2), the conveyor stops and the goods (red and green pucks) are located and identified by the camera placed at the end of the manipulator arm. The two-finger gripper, mounted at the end of the arm, grabs the puck and places it according to its color, on a pallet in zone A (red) or zone B (green) for delivery to two different destinations.
