Abstract

The main aim of our project is to reduce the humaninterventionand increase the rate of production. This can be achieved due rate of rejection of improper boxes. Our project couldbe used at industrial or commercial level. Inour project we have mainly implemented the functions of selecting, verifying and rejecting the faulty cardboard boxes. DC motors have been used for running the conveyor and rejection mechanism as well. The Robot used in our project is based on ATMEGA 16 microcontroller. The criteria for sorting the boxes will be shape(only length will vary). The IR sensors will form a frame likestructure. On pressing a switch the respective box will move on conveyor for verification. The turning on of the predefined set of sensors will indicate that the verification process is completed. If any of the box fails to satisfy the criteria, it will be rejected. Finally the verified boxes willbe delivered to the delivery cratewith help of Robot.
