Project Idea Description

Retrieve a specific Lego Set from a pile of Legos

Vision: Relive parents from spending hours with searching some Lego pieces from a pile of Lego and increase circularity of Lego sets by creating a machine to retrieve a particular Lego set from a pile of Legos.

Objective: Create an installation which recognizes whether a particular Lego piece belongs to a specific Lego set. In a first step the Lego piece shall be placed on a dedicated area by hand and a computer indicates whether this particular piece belongs to a specific set or not. In a second step we can automate feeding the Legos and sorting them into two bins on with the pieces belonging to the set, one for the rest of pieces. In a third step we can increase number of bins to support the different bags of a Lego Set. More steps to increase throughput and usability can be thought of.

Stakeholder Group: All parents having kids with lots of lego sets mixed and face the challenge to retrieve them again from a pile of Legos. Many parents would appreciate a machine supporting them to filter out the sets from the pile. In a second stage also Toy Vending companies could lease such a machine and offer the service to their clients. Because retrieving a set will take a while the clients will linger in the shop and most probably buy some more toys.

Digital Business: bbv can show that we can create products and based on that offer a digitally supported business using mechatronic and modern technologies. It's a show case we can easily market.

Making Visions Work: bbv will be recognized as a company capable of creating a digital business and more starting at the vision until operation.

Competition: search for "Lego Sorting Machine" and you will find few examples what other did. I didn't find yet a machine which retrieves a lego set from a pile of legos.
