AWSM SENSING
The AWSM system begins its process when a presence sensor detects that an object has been placed on the platform. Once detected, a moisture sensor immediately measures the surface humidity of the item. If the reading crosses a certain threshold, the system classifies it as wet waste; if not, it proceeds as dry waste. This first step helps the machine make a fast, basic distinction between organic and inorganic materials.
AI CAMERA (To be done)
At the same time, an AI-powered camera scans the object. This camera is linked to a trained model that compares the image against thousands of stored examples of waste items. Using this database, the system can accurately identify whether the object belongs to the organic, recyclable, or residual category. This classification data is instantly relayed to the internal control unit.
TILTING AND PANNING
Once the waste type is identified, the central rotating mechanism activates. It turns the platform by a specific number of degrees to align with the correct bin, then tilts at about 45 degrees to drop the waste using gravity. After the object slides into its container, the platform returns to its original position, ready for the next item. The combination of sensors, AI, and mechanical precision allows AWSM to segregate waste quickly, safely, and efficiently.
