People in Shanghai can be fined up to 200 yuan ($29.13) if they fail to sort garbage properly and refuse to fix the problem. Enterprises can be fined up to 5,000 yuan for failing to have the right trash bins in place, and up to 50,000 yuan for failure to sort waste if they refuse to rectify their mistakes. Today, the city's urban management and ...

Increasingly, computer vision (CV), robotics, and other smart technologies are used for MSW sorting. Particularly, the field of CV-enabled waste sorting is experiencing an unprecedented explosion of academic research. However, little attention has been paid to understanding its evolvement path, status quo, and prospects and challenges ahead.

Waste type identification relies on various features of the waste items. A wide variety of features can be used in C&D waste sorting, including physical, chemical, and optical characteristics. Waste sorting can be classified into two categories based on feature utilisation: direct and indirect sorting (Gundupalli et al., 2017). 3.1.

To address these challenges, this paper employs the convolutional neural network technique in deep learning for intelligent waste sorting. Firstly, a multi-scale processing strategy is introduced to enhance the system's resilience and accuracy by considering feature information at various scales. Secondly, a lightweight approach …

Therefore, this article uses deep learning methods to study efficient waste image recognition for recyclable waste sorting. Technically, a waste image recognition model has been proposed that allow for intelligent classification and recognition of recyclable waste images based on mobile terminals (Mittal et al., 2016). The aim of the …

The country will also invest over 21 billion yuan (three billion U.S. dollars) in the construction of garbage processing facilities to meet demands, officials said last Friday. China is embracing the era of compulsory garbage sorting with its cities enacting or revising regulations on garbage classification. And these efforts are taking effects ...

Specifically this game provides our residents with needed feedback as they adapt to the ever changing and complex world of recycling.".

So far, the city has registered more than 710,000 trash sorting volunteers, or one in every nine volunteers involved in garbage sorting. Yang Changyun, a resident of Hongmeinanyuan residential complex in Minhang District in his 80s, appears on time at the garbage disposal room every day as a garbage sorting volunteer.

An important element of a complex recycling process that is an integral part of municipal waste management is the sorting of materials that can be re-used. Manual sorting of garbage is a tedious and expensive process, which is why scientists create ... The technique can be applied to the mobile robot for gathering waste. It would be helpful at ...

Several AI techniques are widely employed in the waste management sector, including waste collection, waste sorting, bin-level sorting, waste treatment, and waste management planning (Chen, 2022, Xiang et al., 2021).

Finally, we perform grasping and sorting of the objects by the mobile robot through a whole-body control framework. We experimentally validate the method, both on visual RGB-D data and indoors on a real full-size mobile manipulator for collection and recycling of garbage items placed on the ground.

The use of robots in sorting of materials such as glass, paper, plastic, metals, etc., from other waste can facilitate the production of secondary raw materials as well as conserve energy and production costs. Robots can help in efficient sorting of waste and can work endlessly thus eliminating health hazard to labours.
