Motivation

Often Robotic arms might struggle with interaction with the environment. Without much feedback, rather the embodiment, they may not be able to execute operations that require them to perform highly without the visual and sensory inputs. 

Hence we proceeded to design and implement a haptic robotic arm that can identify and classify a preset group of objects using a computer vision-based system and apply different pressures on the designated object after locating its orientation in space.

Academic Goals:

We also wished to deepen our understanding of Sensors and Computer Vision, which led us to select this topic.
