AI- powered Robot System Enables Efficient Green Recycling

NexCOBOT's recycling robot solution combines AI Vision technology to accurately identify and classify different types of plastic bottles. Using AI algorithms, the system can distinguish bottles based on attributes such as color (transparent, white, and green) and their intended use, such as beverage or oil plastic bottles. Leveraging a highly efficient Delta Robot system, the solution effectively and smoothly sorts the plastic bottles into their respective recycling bins, ensuring precise and streamlined recycling processes.

The waste industry was experiencing a decline in the number of individuals interested in pursuing this type of job, resulting in a labor shortage. This shortage of skilled operators was having a significant impact on company's ability to efficiently and effectively manage its recycling processes, potentially leading to delays and reduced productivity.

NexCOBOT's comprehensive solution for automating garbage recycling processes integrates AI vision, GRC2 robot controller, AI PC, robotic arm and conveyor tracking into a cohesive system. The AI vision system, a key component of the solution, plays a vital role in the sorting process. It employs cutting-edge algorithms to distinguish between different types of plastic bottles and accurately detects the center position of each bottle. This information is seamlessly transmitted to the robot controller via the AI PC TT300-A. Leveraging this data, the robot swiftly selects the specific plastic bottle and precisely places it into the corresponding recycling box. The seamless integration of the AI vision system with the robot motion control and conveyor tracking ensures a highly efficient and accurate sorting process throughout the recycling line.
