Final Year Project

Project Title

Collaborative Human-Robot Gantry System

Description

The project aims to eliminate severe musculoskeletal risks at Dawlance by automating the heavy lifting of 40kg microwaves. By transitioning from manual labor to a Human-Robot Collaborative setup, we protect workers from injury while they handle dexterous tasks like quality checks. I am developing a 4-axis gantry robot integrated with a ROS2-based computer vision pipeline on a Jetson Orin Nano. This allows the system to autonomously localize and palletize units within a 3.5m x 3.5m footprint, compliant with ISO 15066 safety standards. The system reduces the NIOSH Lifting Index from a dangerous 3.1 to a safe 1.0, effectively preventing chronic worker injuries. It also minimizes product damage and provides a cost-effective, locally engineered automation solution.
