Berryminator Theme The theme is set in a simulated environment where indoor vertical farming is explored. The arena is an abstraction of a farm where different types of berries are cultivated in vertically stacked trays in different rooms. A robot navigates through these rooms and galleries of the farm and harvests berries based on factors such as: size, ripeness and quantity required. In this theme, the students get to design, simulate and code their own robotic mechanism. After completing this theme, participants will be confident in deploying robotic applications using CoppeliaSim, OpenCV, Python and CAD.

Concepts used: Robotic Simulation, Image Processing, 3D Designing, Algorithm Building, Robot Navigation and localization, Python programming and Lua programming.

Implementation: Simulator based.
