Using artificial intelligence technology in waste classification

The product "Waste sorting robot using AIOT technology" by students: Nguyen Phuong Anh, grade 10 French major, Nguyen Trai High School for the Gifted; Ta Duc Hien, grade 6B Phan Boi Chau Secondary School; Nguyen Minh Tien and Nguyen Sang Bao Chau, grade 3C Dai Dong Primary School (Tu Ky) is a combination of AI artificial intelligence technology with the internet of things (IOT) infrastructure to create an advanced, automated, and convenient solution for waste management.

The product uses artificial intelligence technology to automatically classify waste through voice and image recognition software, thereby reducing dependence on manual classification and increasing waste management efficiency. The product performs requests from users through the use of AI virtual assistant software. The robot can introduce itself, give compliments and give cards to those who actively dispose of waste properly.

When the correct type of waste is identified, the robot will automatically open the lid of the corresponding trash bin and invite the user to put the waste in the bin. In case the user brings in multiple types of mixed waste at the same time, the robot will request waste classification.

The product is connected to the garbage collector's phone number. When the trash can is full, the robot will notify the user and send a signal to the garbage collection manager.
