Resorting Technology: Toward a Vision-Based Categorization System for the Industrial Robotic Separation of Recyclable Waste

The use of robots in waste processing plants can significantly improve the processing of recyclables. Such robots need sophisticated visual and manipulation skills to be able to work in the extremely heterogeneous, complex, and unpredictable waste sorting industrial environment. This article considers the implementation of an autonomous robotic system for the categorization and physical sorting of...
