Using RAI to support waste management

 Robotics and Artificial Intelligence are significant globalised technologies applicable to every sector. The UK’s extensive industrial and academic research base has immense potential to impact on home and global markets. The Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Innovation Network addresses this opportunity, enabling UK RAI innovators to connect, access markets and showcase their capability.

 This webinar aims to inform material recovery facilities (MRFs) of the current state of RAI to increase the recycling rate to meet UK’s recycling targets. The UK’s 2020 waste targets will soon be obsolete as recycling rates have plummeted to around 44%, despite the target set at 50% by the year 2020. This means that 22 million tons of waste are sent to landfill every year in the UK and are not recycled. In order to support MRFs to meet the UK targets, a closer look needs to be taken at recent developments in robotics and AI. Waste sorting robots using computer vision or other sensory methods are becoming more established in countries like USA and start-ups have emerged tackling the issue of waste contamination at earlier stages in the recycling process. This webinar aimed to connect people from the waste management sector to innovators who are using robotics and AI to improve waste management.

In US news and current events today, NowThis News is exploring how these trash sorting industrial robots are changing recycling with machine learning and artificial intelligence. 2019 has been a banner year for environmental action and change. Waste management and how we recycle plastic, paper, and more is crucial to saving the environment and fighting the climate crisis. With machine learning algorithms, these artificial intelligence robots are sorting recycling faster than humans ever could. The future of artificial intelligence-fueled trash sorting robots is bright.

Guardforce's Smart Waste Bin

SMART CITY BIN FOR WASTE MANAGEMENT (WASTE COLLECTION TECHNOLOGY)

If you walk along our streets, you often see litter on the ground and not in the bins. Rubbish doesn’t fit in the bins and gets blown around by the wind, creating unsanitary conditions that attract dogs, birds and rodents. The city has to spend a lot of money on a large fleet of vehicles to service all these bins. Taking this into account, as well as a number of other environmental and economic factors, we have developed a new state-of-the-art litter bin. Binology bins are radically different from standard bins: - they use solar energy and don’t need to be connected to the electricity network - they are equipped with a compactor so they can hold 8 times more rubbish than an ordinary bin - software provides information on how full each bin is and this, together with road condition reports, is used to allocate drivers to the most efficient waste collection routes. The advantages provided by state-of-the-art Binology technology include: - up to 90 % reduction in the cost of waste collection - a significant reduction in the number of collections, thereby reducing the number of waste collection trucks required - managed and reduced fuel costs - reduced CO2 emissions - by installing smart bins, recovered materials can be separated and recycled - animals can’t get into the bins - the level of waste in each bin is monitored in % - waste collection routes are generated taking into account road conditions - improved waste management through system reporting. In addition, advertising materials can be placed on the bins to provide an additional source of income. This technology will give us modern Clean cities that will make everybody happy.

ECO fl-AI : AI for waste management SMART Plastic Waste Sorting And Segregating Machine Using Artificial intelligence system

Solid waste disposal problem is the one of the main issue in both urban and rural areas. So we can't get proper plant to disposal it. And it also required to segregate the plastic in terms of Thermoplastic and Thermosetting plastic, based on which we can reuse plastic for generating electricity, for making bonded rods and also for light wait materials... It is comes under swachh bharat abhiyana, Which helps to achieve good environment and also economical to the industries. Also we get accurate results compare to human assistance using this AI System...

EU's eREC Event: Waste Management 4.0 & Tech Trends

For decades, the United States and other wealthy countries have been dependent on China to buy and process almost half of the world’s plastic waste. Now, stricter recycling standards in China mean its cheaper for some US cities to simply send recyclables to the dump rather than pay a higher fee to process them. That’s why a number of researchers and tech companies are working on robots to make US recycling more efficient.
