Robotic Object Sorting - Setting Up

In this video, we walk through the setup and initialization phase of our robotic object sorting project using the Sawyer robot! Before any objects are picked or sorted, several crucial steps take place to ensure the system is fully calibrated and ready to perform reliably.

What’s Covered in This Video:
1) Initializing ROSserial, Arduino, and the Main Sorting Program;
2) Positioning the robot head and gripper;
3) Recording a reference drop-off location for dynamic sorting;
4) Resetting the wrist camera and preparing it for object detection.

This setup process is essential to ensure accurate perception, smooth motion, and safe operation before the robot begins identifying and sorting objects based on shape and color.
