Dominobot: An Autonomous Domino-Laying Robot
Principles of Engineering, Fall 2013
Dominobot was a project undertaken as part of a course known as Principles of Engineering. The class challenges students to use the semester to complete a project that has non-trivial Mechanical, Electrical and Software components with the aim of allowing students to experience the challenges of system integration.
For this project, my team and I attempted a project we called Dominobot! Dominobot is an autonomous domino-laying robot. It uses a camera to follow a laser. A user can use that laser to draw a path for the robot to follow. At the same time, the robot will dispense dominos behind it such that the dominos stand vertically. The end result is a path of dominos that you can knock over!
