| # | Project name | Short description | Required knowledge level | Estimated duration | Additional hardware and software requirements |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Classify Hex Nuts/Screws | Try out the AI Classification tool by taking images of different hex nuts and/or screws to generate your first AI algorithm. | Basic | 30 Minutes | none – everything included in the Starter Kit |
| 2 | Chocolate Inspection | Follow along the SICK Nova Tutorials on YouTube and get to learn various AI and non-AI tools by inspecting a Chocolate Bar. | Advanced | 2 Hours | Chocolate Bar 3D print files sick.com/de/en/downloads/media/swp682086 OR any other chocolate bar / packed grocery |
| 3 | Sketch Demonstrator | Classify different hand-drawn sketches with the AI Classification tool. | Advanced | 2 Hours | Paper, Edding |
| 4 | Empty box detection | Analyze boxes if they contain contamination or foreign objects with the AI Anomaly Detection tool. | Advanced | 1 Hour | Empty boxes Contaminations (e.g. pieces of paper, small rocks, hair, etc.) |
| 5 | Rock, paper, scissors | Use the sensor and AI tools to recognize hand signs for the game “Rock, Paper, Scissors”. A Python Flask web app running on a Raspberry Pi selects a random sign for the computer and compares it with the sensor-detected hand sign. | Expert | 4 Hours | Hardware: Raspberry Pi 5, Micro HDMI (cable/adapter), Display, keyboard, mouse Software: Visual Studio Code, Raspberry Pi Imager, Python |
| 6 | Sort LEGO skeletons | Analyze LEGO pieces (skeletons are best suitable for this) and sort out pieces with missing parts. This project can be extended by using a conveyor belt and trigger sensor to automate the analyzing process. | Expert | 4 Hours | LEGO skeletons Optional: Conveyor belt, Trigger sensor, Cables, Signal light |
