Overview
Colourific is an accessibility-focused sorting robot built on LEGO EV3 Mindstorms, fusing color, touch, and IR sensor data to drive coordinated DC and servo motors that classify and transport blocks in real time. A button interface and IR beacon navigation enable autonomous sort cycles, while a rounded, modular chassis makes it safe for children with visual impairments and early-stage cognitive development.
Workflow
Step 1
Mechanical Design:
Built a robust robotic chassis with integrated DC motors and servo actuators to support precise block handling and reliable motion control.
Step 2
Electrical Integration:
Wired and calibrated LEGO EV3 components, ensuring stable power distribution and accurate signal transfer between motors and sensors.
Step 3
Sensor Setup:
Configured EV3 color sensors, touch sensors, and IR guidance to enable accurate block detection, classification, and navigation.
Step 4
Software Programming:
Developed control logic in RobotC and C++, integrating sensor data processing with motor coordination to achieve 95% sorting accuracy in real time.
