One start-up is focused on recycling robots. Their system is trained by being shown millions of images. Its most recent dual robot system called Cortex can sort, pick and place items at 160 units per minute. The company has sold AI driven robots to a Japanese company to separate reusable materials such as electronic equipments. demolition debris and. Another start-up supplies sensors that provides information about moisture and chlorine levels. Their latest innovation is material sensor that can detect PET trays and a laser feature that can identify blank objects and silicon cartridges.
