Project description
AI-based robotic system for electronic waste detection
The management chain for waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) can cause fire incidences due to batteries carelessly discarded into recycling bins or black rubbish bags. Consequently, this threatens human life, disrupts waste services, and causes considerable economic loss. The EU-funded Grinner project proposes an autonomous AI-enabled robotic sorting system that detects and removes WEEE. The system will consist of the fastest energy-resolved X-Ray detectors on the market and an ML-enabled software module. Grinner will analyse X-ray data, effectively detecting waste containing batteries, and inform the waste flow and vision-based pick-and-place robots. The project will prepare the system for commercialisation.
