Robots can help to reduce waste incineration by efficiently sorting materials that can be recycled and reused. They can even assist in the faster and more efficient sorting of waste materials than humans, reducing the input power and costs associated with such processes. It is the movement of solid waste from the point of generation to the point of treatment or disposal.
As part of a municipal landfill diversion programme, waste collection also includes the curbside collection of recyclable materials that are technically not waste. On a conveyor belt, a high-speed robotic sorting system guided by artificial intelligence identifies materials by category.
The Global Waste collection robot market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
This artificial intelligence-powered robotic boat cleans harbours and rivers to keep plastic trash out of the ocean. Every year, millions of tonnes of plastic trash float down polluted urban rivers and industrial waterways, ultimately ending up in the world’s oceans. A Hong Kong-based startup has developed a solution to help stem these destructive waste flows.
A small boat on the water with the skyline of a city in the distance. An early prototype navigates the harbour of Hong Kong. Cleverbot Neo is a sleek AI-enabled robotic boat designed by Open Ocean Engineering that autonomously collects tonnes of floating garbage that would otherwise wash into the Pacific from the territory’s busy harbour.
The Clearbot Neo, which is only three metres long and powered by a solar battery, moves systematically up and down designated sections of water, similar to how a household robot cleaner moves across a living room floor. Unlike other, much larger marine trash collection solutions tackling pollution on the high seas, the Clearbot Neo’s compact design makes it ideal for harbour, canal, and river use.
It skims the surface, scooping up floating trash and depositing it on an on-board conveyer belt installed near its bow between its dual hulls and into a holding bin near its stern.
