Robots in the Trash

What this episode covers

I have seen camera-based technology sort things like potato chips, nuts and berries at mind-blowing speed using cameras to identify defects and puffs of air to reject them. Until I saw that, I’d have thought it was impossible. Using cameras and robots to sort, pick and route items in a solid stream of trash full of everything from what you’d expect to used diapers to chainsaws seems impossible! I was looking forward to exploring this with AMP’s founder and CTO Matanya Horowitz. I appreciated his massive leap of faith from seeing potential to creating an AI-enabled robotics company that’s changing the entire economics of recycling. I’m convinced this is the future and I think you’ll find Matanya fascinating.
