As someone who disassembles and repairs hardware, [Aad] eventually ended up with a huge collection of mixed bolts and screws. This led to creating the automatic bolt and screw sorting system you see here, although in a way it is just a proof of concept. Bolts and screws happen to be a useful application for now, but the system is capable of sorting just about any small objects. Above the lit platform is a camera, and machine vision is used to detect the size and shape and orientation of each screw. Are there other objects besides screws and bolts that would be useful to sort with a system like this?
