| Summary: | Escalating amounts of recyclables that are not maximized and indifference in proper waste segregation has led to the group in developing a solution to this. Through the Automated Waste Sorter (AWS) and Mobile Robot Waste Deliver System (MRWDS) the group intended to automate the sorting process of steel cans, aluminum cans, glass bottles and plastic bottles. Along with the integration of the Mobile Robot Delivery System the process of collecting the waste that is to be sorted by the AWS human interference is minimized. This paper describes the approach to implementing a sensor array, for each corresponding material to be sorted, along with a conveyor belt as the Automated Waste Sorter.
The Mobile Robot Delivery System is composed of a line following robot that is able to mechanically pick up an appointed trash bin and collect the waste in the said bin and through the designed line path proceed to the receiving end of the AWS and dump the collected waste. Through the use of the implemented systems the group was successful in collecting and delivering the waste and sorting to an accuracy of above 80%. |
