“Incredible ice masses teach AI recycling robots”
The future of recycling is here, and of course, it involves robots and artificial intelligence.
Rebecca Hu, the co-founder of the robotics company Glacier, creates robots that help recycling plants separate and, well, recycle material.
Before, sorting recyclable materials was a manual job that took hours for someone to do.
Today, Glacier has been using AI cameras so that robots can better identify recyclable materials.
Hu said training the robots to spot materials was akin to teaching a toddler how to tell two things apart.
