Development of a fully automated refuse collection system
The proposed project involves the development of a fully automated system for municipal waste collection. We will develop a ruggedized vision-based control system and a truck-mounted robot to pick up municipal waste containers and deposit their contents into the back of a standard waste collection vehicle. The solution is envisioned as an add-on for existing trucks that will not require municipalities to replace their entire fleets. Waterloo Controls estimates the annual market to be in the range of 5000 – 10000 units.
