A Flexible Robotic-Based Architecture for Cyber-Physical Sorting Systems in Waste Management Industry
摘要
The pressing necessity for highly efficient waste segregation effectively leads to utilization of automated sorting systems capable of high throughput and great adaptability to highly mixed streams. This works proposes an architecture for a Cyber-Physical Sorting System (CPSS) relying on robotic actuation. Its modular design aims to be adjustable to different waste stream requirements with minimum effort by supporting multi-modal sensing, manipulation of diverse materials and geometries, as well as integration of different industrial robots.
