Project: Sorting of mixed electronic waste with artificial intelligence robots

Acronym SOMEWAIR (Reference Number: 10146)
Duration 01/03/2016 - 01/09/2018
Project Topic Build a prototype robot collector which picks battery-containing items from waste electronics (WEEE) under realistic conditions. We will use standard RGB-D cameras and suitable lights to video the WEEE as it travels on the conveyer. We will segment the images, classify the items of interest, pick them with a robot and place them in output bins. Research focuses on minimizing the classifier training phase and optimizing classification despite lighting variation and clutter, plus proper evaluation
