Design Concept

 

 

Our concept is an automated warehouse that will pick customer’s orders without the need for human interaction with the products. This relies on an item release mechanism that when activated will place exactly one item onto the adjacent conveyor belt to be collected at the common endpoint. After the items are collected they will be distributed to the proper locker to be picked up by the user who ordered them. Our prototype is the last step of this system which involves a bot that runs on a rail and drops items into lockers.
