*DOF: Degrees of Freedom
AI ML TSN fruit picker Robotic arm
- This solution uses GenAVB software stack to control a robotic arm on a TSN network
- The tablet simulates a conveyor belt by displaying passing oranges and apples where a camera scans the products on the belt, and a robotic arm selects the correct product.
- i.MX93 continuously records the display of the tablet using a Basler camera and processes the captured frames to determine if the passing fruits are oranges or apples.
- The fruit recognition is done using a TensorFlow Lite neural network running on the Neural Processing Unit of i.MX 93.
- Once the coordinates of an apple are determined, the commands are sent from the i.MX 93 into the TSN network composed of RT1180 TSN switch and i.MX RT 1170 TSN endpoint.
- Upon reception of the commands by the i.MX RT 1170, it controls the robot arm through the UART interface to touch the apple. All three boards in the TSN network are configured to use Qbv settings for Quality of Service (QOS).
