E1G01 - AI-Based Smart Recycling Bin
Entertainment
Introduction
We are excited to introduce our innovative AI-based Smart Recycling Bin developed by Group E1 G01. This intelligent recycling solution incorporates advanced components to enhance the efficiency of waste separation and management.
Components of the Smart Recycling Bin
The AI-based Smart Recycling Bin is equipped with several essential components, including:
- Raspberry Pi Board: The core processing unit that drives the bin's functionalities.
- Camera: Utilized for identifying and classifying the type of waste being disposed of.
- Sensors: Detect the presence of waste and monitor the trash levels within the bin.
- LED Indicators: Provide visual feedback regarding the status of the bin.
- Motors: Responsible for moving waste to the designated compartments.
How It Works
The functionality of the smart recycling bin is fascinating. For instance, when an individual discards an item like a toothpaste tube into the bin, the following process occurs:
- The sensors detect the presence of the item.
- The integrated camera captures the image and classifies the item type.
- Based on the classification, the motor rotates to guide the waste into its respective compartment, thereby efficiently sorting the waste.
Further demonstrating its capabilities, the smart bin also has a trash level detection system. When the bin reaches a certain level of fullness, the respective sensor identifies the trash level, prompting the LED to illuminate. This indicator alerts users that the bin is nearing its capacity, ensuring timely disposal and maintenance.
To provide a clearer picture of its operation, users can see the smart recycling bin in action during its testing phase.
In summary, the AI-based smart recycling bin presents a novel approach to waste management that is both efficient and effective at encouraging recycling practices.
