Development of the Next-generation Automated Mobile Recycling System

Mobile recycling, as part of efforts to help reduce the greenhouse emissions, is a novel type of recycling type emerged in recent years. The U-Cycle automated mobile recycling system located in Newfoundland and Labrador is a typical paradigm. This research project focuses on developing methodologies for multiple modules for the next-generation mobile recycling, including mechanism, power system, hardware and software, and human-machine interaction, by means of improving the U-Cycle system. Based on extensive research experience in robotic system design and the close collaboration with our partner, the proposed system is expected to showcase significant advantages in providing reliable power supply, sustainable mechanism, advanced human-machine interaction and remote management, that can promote widespread applications of such systems.
