I tried to do brick sorting (because we have great detection and classification models at https://brickit.app/)
It turned out to be much more complex than I expected.
The biggest issue was grabbing. Typical approach for this type of task is to use vacuum suction actuator, but it does not work for Lego parts, because they have stubs and prevent suction from working.
Also there are issues of part separation.
We abandoned this idea, but I still hope that we can return and achieve something working some day.
