Automated Christmas Tree Decoration Robot

Project Overview

Developed an automated system for decorating Christmas trees using industrial robotics. The project combined 3D scanning, geometric path planning, and precise robot control to wrap garlands around a tree in a helical pattern.

Technical Implementation

Designed custom roller fixture to rotate the tree
Created 3D scanning setup to capture tree geometry.
estimated the tree’s conical shape and generated motion path and robot trajectory.
scavenged makeshift end effector from a 3D printer to hold the garland
