Object Sorting robot lets us learn various aspects of robotic. In the simplest application it will perform the sorting of Black and White objects over conveyor. If you place Black object on the Stage it will pick the object and place it left side and if you place white object , it pick the object and place it right side.

Motivation•Be Object sorting robot inspired by the collective behavior of the social insects.•Distributed, self-organized, and scalable as there is no centralized control or global communication. •This system is appealing due to its scalability, flexibility, and robustness. Inspired by the brood sorting behavior .

Implemented Work•Brain storming - Settle on the choice of project in the 'brain storming' part.

•Hardware designing - The hardware design includes all the aspects of the electronic connections between other devices, like the compatibility of the voltage levels, or the required number of pins, etc...

•Programming & debugging - Passing to the programming & debugging phase, because programming is much more flexible than the hardware design.

Materials and methodology•Microcontroller•Photo resistor•Sensors•Robotic arm•DC motor•Max 232•Conveyor belt

Conclusion•Industrial robots can easily automate picking a part up and placing it into a new location & saved factories money. 

•Object sorting robots not only speed up the process, which increases production rates, but they are also more accurate and do not fatigue.  

•Object sorting robots can be reprogrammable and tooling can be interchanged to provide for multiple applications.

•With the advancements in technology and affordability of robots, more object sorting robotic cells are being installed for automation applications.
