Inspiration
We aimed to make people's lives easier and save some of their time.
What it does
Our project scans for items inside of a storage system. The user picks what item they want to scan for.
How we built it
The main body of our project mimics a cabinet that was created through laser cutting wood. The component that scans for the item is an ESP-32 camera. It slides up and down the cabinet through a pulley system and numerous 3-D printed components. A user can prompt what item they wish to scan for through a webpage, and if the item is found, they will be notified through the same webpage.
Challenges we ran into
Aligning the components of the cabinet to fit like a Lego piece, getting two ESP's to communicate with each other, implementing AI to detect a wider amount of items,
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating a working product and learning new skills.
What we learned
Laser cutting, AI with Python, ESP32 communication
