Consignment Tetris

Client: Francesco Ciriello, MathWorks <fciriell@mathworks.com>

Short-run manufacturers can now supply arbitrary bulk parts for 3D printing and online delivery, but manually packing a wide range of 3D shapes is difficult for robots. Your task is to design a system that will take a random selection of 3D models (e.g. as might be printed from clara.io/library), and use twin robot arms to fit them together into delivery boxes. You will simulate the system's kinematic and dynamic performance using Simulink 3D animation & Simscape Multibody in conjunction with a high-fidelity robotic arm model from MATLAB’s Robotics System Toolbox.
