AMP Robotics from Denver, Colorado, and Ryohshin from Toyama Prefecture, Japan, have partnered to create an AI powered robot which selects materials to be recycled following demolition.
Two robotic systems called “AI-Benkei” and “AI-Musashi” can recognise, sort, pick and process construction and demolition (C&D) debris, including metal, wood, electronics and concrete.
AI-Benkei is the heavy duty version of the product, able to handle debris weighing 40kg, and can process 25 tonnes per hour.
AI-Musashi is a faster version and can pick up 160 pieces of recyclable material per minute, and can pick through 10 tonnes of debris per hour.
