Contract Software DevelopmentClient: FreshRealmFreshRealm is a manufacturer of prepackaged meal kits for in store and on line purchase. They package meal kits sold by retailers such as Kroger, Publix, Weight Watchers.This project adds automation to the packing lines. When fully deployed this will reduce the labor needed to pack the meal kits by 80% while improving the accuracy of the finished kits. Adapted 3D printer to build low cost pick and place robot to pack meal kits.Added pick and place functions to RepRapFirmware.Added functions to RepRapFirmware to communicate with ERP systems via CURL and JASONAdded functions to RepRapFirmware to communicate with vision system via CURL and JASONImplemented embedded vision system using Intel Realsense D435 cameras running under linux on Udoo x86 platform.Vision system improved reduced pick retries from 60% to 15% for most classes of packages. Client: SwellproSwellpro is a manufacturer of waterproof quadcopter dronesEvaluate PixHawk, Px4 to add lifeguard assist capability to quadcoptor.
