Picki is an open source cartesian style pick and place machine using TinyG for motion control and Beaglebone Black + OpenCV for computer vision. Picki will be designed out of 20X20mm T-slot aluminum extrusion, t-slot hardware, metric screws, and 3D printed parts (option of machined). Picki will be sort of RepStrap style machine utilizing a lot of off the shelf parts and special vitamins with a lot of 3D printed parts.
