SMART WASTE MANAGEMENT USING AI

Abstract

This Paper deals with the most blistering topic i.e. waste segregation using AI. An efficacious management needs to be materialized for better planet to live in. Hence, with our cost effective project proposal, we try to bring in the change. This paper proposes an automatic waste segregator (AWS) using AI which is a cheap, easy to use solution for a segregation system at households, so that the wastes can be sent directly for processing. AI based waste segregator is designed to sort the waste into three main categories namely; metallic, organic and plastic, thereby making the waste management more effective. Sensors are connected near smart bin to detect different types of waste. first sensor connected is the capacitive proximity sensor to detect non conducting waste and which is having highest priority among the two sensors connected. This sensor gives accurate results even for smaller objects.
