Robotics

This project involved programming a Franka Panda robotic arm to pick up blocks from a workspace and stack them on a target platform, with scoring based on block type (static or dynamic) and final stack height. We built a robust computer-vision–based pick-and-place pipeline optimized for static blocks, while also exploring both hard-coded and vision-driven methods for interacting with dynamic blocks.
