I used LDraw files and LDCad to train an AI program to recognize bricks

Very cool, thanks for sharing! I stumbled on Daniel West video recently, both project shows that sorting a heap of LEGO parts may soon no longer be a nightmare

Thanks!
I thought Daniel West's video was very cool! I have not yet decided to tackle the full on robot sorter ... yet. :-) 
But I might put my project into a mobile app so it could be used from a phone. I would need to do some work to let the user identify the parts that the image recognition gets wrong.
