Braccio Robot Arm Pickup with OpenCV Object Detection

This is a demo of a robotic arm that can find and pickup apples. I use OpenCV's YOLOv3 for object detection, and pass the locations to ROS MoveIt and onto the Arduino Braccio Arm. Also, since there is a limited region where the apple can be picked up, I added a subroutine to roll the apple into a viable position.

Hi
I need your help because I am in final year and also working on same project.

Amazing project.
Could you tell the version of ros you are using in this project. Cause i'm using ros melodic and it uses python 2 and the opencv dnn module is not compatible with python2.

Amazing..

I almost bought this one, but ended up with the "Grab-it" instead.
However, I'm using a motorino shield, what do you use on your setup?

Beautiful project! congratulations.. What version Ros have used.. melodic?

Do you know which is the minimum distance the robot can move?

It's really awesome 😍
Can I add my own object to detect in yolov3 ?
How do you program the arm to go to the right position?

Awesome project mate,
I've been trying to redo this project, Everything works fine till i get to the 5th step. I run the python script (braccio_xy_bb_target.py). I tried the poses like "home" and "up" it works fine but when I try "calibrate " nothing happens. Can you help with that?

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 and ROS noetic.
