Smart Bins have become popular in smart cities and campuses around the world. These bins have a compaction mechanism that increases the bins' capacity as well as automated real-time collection notifications. In this paper, we propose…
Waste is a wealth in a wrong place. Our research focuses on analyzing possibilities for automatic waste sorting and collecting in such a way that helps it for further recycling process. Various approaches are being practiced managing waste…
Nowadays, proper urban waste management is one of the biggest concerns for maintaining a green and clean environment. An automatic waste segregation system can be a viable solution to improve the sustainability of the country and boost the…
Population growth in the last decades has resulted in the production of about 2.01 billion tons of municipal waste per year. The current waste management systems are not capable of providing adequate solutions for the disposal and use of…
Segregation of garbage is a primary concern in many nations across the world. Even though we are in the modern era, many people still do not know how to distinguish between organic and recyclable waste. It is because of this that the world…
Current disposal facilities for coarse-grained waste perform manual sorting of materials with heavy machinery. Large quantities of recyclable materials are lost to coarse waste, so more effective sorting processes must be developed to…
Waste management is one of the significant problems throughout the world. Contemporaneous methods find it difficult to manage the volume of solid waste generated by the growing urban population. In this paper, we propose a system which is…
Efficient waste sorting is crucial for enabling circular-economy practices and resource recovery in smart cities. This paper evaluates both traditional machine-learning (Random Forest, SVM, AdaBoost) and deep-learning techniques including…
Owing to human labor shortages, the automation of labor-intensive manual waste-sorting is needed. The goal of automating waste-sorting is to replace the human role of robust detection and agile manipulation of waste items with robots. To…
We introduce a novel strategy for multi-robot sorting of waste objects using Reinforcement Learning. Our focus lies on finding optimal picking strategies that facilitate an effective coordination of a multi-robot system, subject to…
The escalating volumes of textile waste globally necessitate innovative waste management solutions to mitigate the environmental impact and promote sustainability in the fashion industry. This paper addresses the inefficiencies of…
Garbage production and littering are persistent global issues that pose significant environmental challenges. Despite large-scale efforts to manage waste through collection and sorting, existing approaches remain inefficient, leading to…
Rather than sending used containers and materials to the landfill, recycling can help lower the human impact on the environment. However, manually sorting the mixture of incoming material can be both costly and potentially harmful to the…
The research reported in this paper transforms a normal trash bin into a smarter one by applying computer vision technology. With the support of sensors and actuator devices, the trash bin can automatically classify garbage. In particular,…
Accurate waste disposal, at the point of disposal, is crucial to fighting climate change. When materials that could be recycled or composted get diverted into landfills, they cause the emission of potent greenhouse gases such as methane.…
Waste management is a certainly a very complex and difficult process especially in very large cities. It needs immense man power and also uses up other resources such as electricity and fuel. This creates a need to use a novel method with…
This paper presents an AI system applied to location and robotic grasping. Experimental setup is based on a parameter study to train a deep-learning network based on Mask-RCNN to perform waste location in indoor and outdoor environment,…
Traditional electronic recycling processes suffer from significant resource loss due to inadequate material separation and identification capabilities, limiting material recovery. We present A.R.I.S. (Automated Recycling Identification…
The rise of convenience packaging has led to generation of enormous waste, making efficient waste sorting crucial for sustainable waste management. To address this, we developed DWaste, a computer vision-powered platform designed for…
The ever-increasing amount of global refuse is overwhelming the waste and recycling management industries. The need for smart systems for environmental monitoring and the enhancement of recycling processes is thus greater than ever. Amongst…
