Researchers at the national Institute of technology 's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have robotic robots with a sense of touch that can detect recycling by distinguishing between different materials . The robot , called RoCycle , has a set of sensors that can identify objects with 85 % accuracy when the objects are motionless , and 63 % accuracy when they are on a conveyor belt .
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory have developed robots with a sense of touch that can sort recycling by distinguishing between different materials. The robot, called RoCycle, has a series of sensors that can identify objects with 85% accuracy when the objects are motionless, and 63% accuracy when they are on a conveyor belt.
