Robotics & AI Innovation Network | Using RAI to support waste management

#robotics #AI #RAI #KTNUK #wastemanagement #circulareconomy This webinar aims to inform material recovery facilities (MRFs) of the current state of RAI to increase the recycling rate to meet UK’s recycling targets. The UK’s 2020 waste targets will soon be obsolete as recycling rates have plummeted to around 44%, despite the target set at 50% by the year 2020. This means that 22 million tons of waste are sent to landfill every year in the UK and are not recycled. In order to support MRFs to meet the UK targets, a closer look needs to be taken at recent developments in robotics and AI. Waste sorting robots using computer vision or other sensory methods are becoming more established in countries like USA and start-ups have emerged tackling the issue of waste contamination at earlier stages in the recycling process. This webinar aimed to connect people from the waste management sector to innovators who are using robotics and AI to improve waste management. 00:00-03:40 – Introduction | Jana Stucke, KTN 03:41-12:42 – History to waste industry | Marcus Du Pree Thomas, Viridor 13:00-25:10 – AI & Computer vision | Alisa Pritchard, Greyparrot 25:25-36:30 – Smart bins | Charles Yhap, CleanRobotics 37:00-01:15:42 – Q&A 01:15:45-01:28:00 – Funding opportunities | Sally Beken, KTN 01:29:00-01:31:30 – Nuclear waste sorting competition | Ray Chegwin, KTN About RAI Innovation Network Robotics and Artificial Intelligence are significant globalised technologies applicable to every sector. The UK’s extensive industrial and academic research base has immense potential to impact on home and global markets. The Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Innovation Network addresses this opportunity, enabling UK RAI innovators to connect, access markets and showcase their capability.
