Mechatronics Engineering Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Tabletop Parcel Dimension Scanner

This Mechatronics Engineering final year project examines measuring harmless box dimensions with a supervised sensor carriage, linking mechanical behaviour, sensing and control through a bounded prototype or reproducible simulation.

Why choose this project topic?

The project addresses measuring harmless box dimensions with a supervised sensor carriage, making the interaction between mechanism, sensor and controller visible. Comparing dimension error, cycle time and rejected measurements gives a student a useful basis for design decisions, demonstrations and a critical discussion of where the integrated system can fail.

How do the selected sensing, actuation or control choices affect dimension error, cycle time and rejected measurements when measuring harmless box dimensions with a supervised sensor carriage?

Select an available approved trainer or fictional model, then agree the mechanism, control range and evaluation protocol for measuring harmless box dimensions with a supervised sensor carriage.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the mechanism, interfaces and operating limits required for measuring harmless box dimensions with a supervised sensor carriage.
  2. 02Use low-force motion and inert boxes, compare sampling paths and validate lengths against a calibrated reference.
  3. 03Evaluate dimension error, cycle time and rejected measurements and document failure cases and uncertainty.

A suggested research approach

Use low-force motion and inert boxes, compare sampling paths and validate lengths against a calibrated reference. Obtain approval for any physical rig and keep testing supervised and within low-energy limits. Record the mechanical and software configuration, compare dimension error, cycle time and rejected measurements against a stated reference, and distinguish demonstration success from validated field reliability.

What you will need

  • Low-force sensor carriage
  • Inert test boxes
  • Reference measuring tools

Keep your project scope clear

The prototype is not certified for commercial billing or conveyor safety.
