Abstract
This project will explore the coordination between computer vision and a robotic arm and a rudimentary problem-solving algorithm. This will allow a robotic arm to autonomously perform a unique task and incorporate problem-solving steps. The tower of Hanoi is a puzzle where the rules are simple, however, the solution is not so simple. This integrated system will solve the puzzle with both 3 and 4 rings as well as with some human interference. This interference will be in the form of rearrangement of the rings between steps and also picking up from a point in the middle of a human solving this puzzle. The components of this project consist of a Teachmover II (1980's legacy equipment), a serial to USB adapter, a webcam, a sorting carousel, and 3D printed rings.
