1. Status Report #6 Food DIP Team 11 Device that detects irregularities in perishable goods before distribution Brandy Alger Travis Ayers Josue Figueroa Joaquin Labrado

2. Overall Need for Design Prevention of food poisoning epidemic, recalls, and packaging money loss for packing bad food. Design Milestones – Images of moldy strawberries taken (3/4) – Stand for gripper/brush on the arm (3/20) – Image Processing Algorithm done (3/10)

3. Tasks Completed Motor working in both directions Data base for non-moldy strawberries Conveyor belt found Frequent visits to SwRI Weekly meetings with business team

4. Ongoing Tasks Design and test for Robotic Arm and Image Processing Finish arm build to test sensors Go to SwRI and acquire several different samples of moldy strawberries. Meet with business team Finish Algorithm for image processing

5. Upcoming Tasks Start and test schematic/flow diagram of Robotic Arm and Image Processor Robotic Arm: Design a PID controller and test Accelerometer. Image Processor: acquire all data into data base for algorithm testing Fix conveyor belt to fit design specifications
