The WORLD'S FIRST Universal LEGO Sorting Machine

Over two years in the making, this is the world's first Universal LEGO Sorting Machine, an AI-powered automated sorting machine that is capable of recognizing and sorting any LEGO part that has ever been produced*.

Be sure to check out my video about how I designed an artificial intelligence system to recognize LEGO parts:    • LEGO Sorter AI: How Does It Work?  

I have also written some articles about some of the technology underlying the sorting machine:

This project would not have been possible without the use of some incredible open source hardware and software:
The Ldraw Part Library: https://ldraw.org
The Raspberry Pi Computer: https://raspberrypi.org
Blender: https://blender.org
Tensorflow: https://tensorflow.org
The Rebrickable part database: https://rebrickable.com



* (Subject to some limitations, e.g. parts that are unable to fit in the machine, flexible/articulated parts, parts not in the LDraw part library, etc)
