Smart Recycling and Garbage Can

CLEANROBOTICS

CleanRobotics has developed the TrashBot, a sensor-enabled robotic garbage can that both separates garbage from recycling and provides business intelligence surrounding labor management, service levels, and use/stocking of waste supplies. During their proof of concept, a TrashBot unit was located in PIT’s Baggage Claim, where passengers were able to try out the TrashBot themselves. A user would place the item they want to discard in the TrashBot’s opening, and the TrashBot automatically sorted trash from recycling using AI and computer vision. The device also collected data on what and how much was being recycled, the diversion rate of waste not sent to a landfill, and more.
