On several occasions we have stated as the platforms Artificial Intelligence-based support in the health care of the people, either directly in a hospital or in their homes, even pets. However, a subject that has received little treatment associated is with regard to the care to be the most ancient and influential in the world, our planet. For this reason, it is exciting for the author, to expose a robot-based AI that helps to recycle. Classify the trash into the correct categories is a hassle daily. Who has not stood there in front of the two, three, five, or more containers (depending on your area and country), thinking in what container do you go? The project SeparAItor of Alvaro Ferrán Cifuentes is a robot from proof-of-concept that uses a tray classification robotics and a camera setting that aims to identify and classify the garbage that is placed in the tray classification. The hardware consists of a tray rating mounted on top of a platform of pan and tilt connected by Bluetooth. The platform communicates with the rest of the system, which uses a camera and OpenCV to get the image data, and a back-end based on Keras that implements a neural network deep learning in Python. The training of the system was performed through the use of pictures made themselves from items that would have to be classified, since it would match more with the real life conditions. After obtaining results of recognition good enough, the system was put together, with a motion detection feature added to respond when he threw a new element to the tray. Then, the system will try to identify the article, classify it and tell the platform to rotate to the correct orientation before tilt it and place it in the appropriate container. See the video embedded after the break for the system in action. With this kind of technological advances it fosters the care of the planet, given that it does not depend on the will of the people, only of the efficiency of the machine. However, from the opinion of the author, not you can lose the awareness of the care of the planet, inviting to take care of the asset that all together we possess. The following two tabs change content below. I am a student of economics, interested in innovation and technological development, always faithful to that tomorrow will be a better day.
