Introduction

The "Box Mover Master" project aims to address the challenges of warehouse automation by developing a robotic system capable of moving boxes efficiently and reliably. The robot uses sensors, cameras, and manipulation mechanisms to navigate the warehouse and handle boxes of various sizes and weights.

Problem Statement

Warehouse automation poses several challenges, including:

• Efficient navigation in a dynamic environment
• Accurate object detection and identification
• Reliable box handling and transportation

The project aims to develop a solution that addresses these challenges, making warehouse operations more efficient and reducing manual labor.

Proposed Solution

The solution involves developing a robotic system that integrates:

• Sensors and Cameras: For environmental perception and object detection
• Manipulation Mechanism: For handling and transporting boxes
• ROS (Robot Operating System): For managing software components and control algorithms
• Path Planning Algorithms: For efficient navigation

System Architecture

The system architecture consists of the following components:

• Hardware: Sensors, cameras, and manipulation mechanisms
