AI-powered Lego sorter knows the shape of every brick

For some people, rummaging through a bunch of Lego bricks is part of the fun. But if you've got an enormous collection or take on complicated builds, you probably have a system for sorting your pieces. Your solution probably doesn't involve AI, though. YouTube user Daniel West combined his love for Lego with his engineering skills to build a universal Lego sorter that uses a neural network to identify, classify and organize the plastic pieces more efficiently than a human could. The universal Lego sorter -- which is made up of 10,000 Lego bricks -- took two years to design, build and perfect.
