Status Report #6Food DIPTeam 11Device that detects irregularities in perishable goods before distribution Brandy Alger Travis Ayers Josue Figueroa Joaquin Labrado
Overall Need for Design • Prevention of food poisoning epidemic, recalls, and packaging money loss for packing bad food. • Design Milestones • Images of moldy strawberries taken (3/4) • Stand for gripper/brush on the arm (3/20) • Image Processing Algorithm done (3/10)
Tasks Completed • Motor working in both directions • Data base for non-moldy strawberries • Conveyor belt found • Frequent visits to SwRI • Weekly meetings with business team
Ongoing Tasks • Design and test for Robotic Arm and Image Processing • Finish arm build to test sensors • Go to SwRI and acquire several different samples of moldy strawberries. • Meet with business team • Finish Algorithm for image processing
Upcoming Tasks • Start and test schematic/flow diagram of Robotic Arm and Image Processor • Robotic Arm: Design a PID controller and test Accelerometer. • Image Processor: acquire all data into data base for algorithm testing • Fix conveyor belt to fit design specifications
