For our final project in robotics class at the United States Naval Academy we had a Scorbot make us a cup of coffee using a Keurig coffee maker.

To begin a user inputs what type of beverage he or she would like. The computer then uses a camera to detect where each K-Cup is and directs the Scorbot where to move to pick up the corresponding cup. This was accomplished by taking a picture of each cup and taking the average of the pixels and compared to thresholds that were previously determined.

From there the Scorbot takes the K-cup, places it in the Keurig and powers the machine on and orders a cup of coffee. This was accomplished by programing over 100+ positions that the Scorbot would go through depending on the scenario.

With the help of several tools, the Scorbot is able to manipulate objects outside its typical workspace.
