StarBax - Baxter makes Coffee

Nov 2017- Dec 2017

Machines run on fuel, I run on coffee. Why not write a ROS package for Baxter to make coffee?

Well that is what this project is all about. Using AR tags to detect distance and color tags to locate objects (Keurig, K-cup, etc.), we use Baxter's built in IK service to solve for joint positions and plan its motion.
