Teleoperated Robotic Sorting System (US RE40394)

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
An automatic sorting system has been developed that allows humans to choose objects from a moving belt without being on-site. The operator uses a touch screen to select images of the mixture of materials to be sorted as they are conveyed past a sensor array. When the item is “touched,” its spatial coordinates are registered in a computer system. The pieces are tracked, and automated devices (robotic arms, air jets or other mechanical devices) are directed to remove the designated objects. Applications: Separate mixtures of materials into usable fractions; reduce human presence in hazardous...Read full article
