Is this CGI? The shadows and movements of the block pieces don't seem real at all. Almost like they're from the PS3 tech demo era.
I'm curious, dropped out of state school economics: for robotics types is "sort blue and green" something you should be able to pull of as an undergrad, given equipment?
Its actually easier than you would expect! you can use a process in image processing called "thresholding" where you basically filter the RGB or color values. Its very common and a little "hack" on compute. Computers "look" at images or video by converting the camera data into large matrices. Red would be 1 matrix, blue another, green another. Instead of this, you typically convert it to black and white but you can do any color you want, depending what youre looking for. This reduces your compute from 3 matrixes to 1 and makes your functions exponentially faster. Someone can help me on O(n) notation lol.
Computer vision to detect red and green blocks in a controlled environment is completely trivial.
Driving a robot with human hands to pick up and manipulate blocks is still advanced research.
I'll put you down as a yes on sorting, no on self balancing humanoid robot
