This machine learning algorithm will be used to sort between organic and recyclable trash, where a camera can be placed on the overhead of a conveyor belt, which can automatically detect whether the item is organic or recyclable, which then moves the article of trash to the proper mode of waste management, which can increase the amount of recyclable material made from each bottle or bag, and streamline the process from the recycling bin all the way to being another product in a store.
Originally founded as GreenBot, our mission is to help reduce global environmental pollution and make the world a better place by increasing the amount of material that can be recycled, and making the process of doing so much more efficient, via grouping materials categorically.
Machine learning is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI), where models(machines) are train on a large amount data to learn and identify the patterns of the data through an algorithm, and place it under a specific category (in Teachable Machine). Over time, as the algorithm is trained, it “learns” this repetitive data. Using this knowledge, it makes complex connections, which then can be used to look at a new file and then categorize it.
