Basic Problem Description:
Recycling is a global industry accounting for more than 1.5 million jobs and $100 billion in annual revenue.
As a whole, the industry currently processes more than 600 million metric tons of material annually, growing
with the expansion of the global, green economy. This global expansion presents an increased need for new,
efficient and cost-effective waste material sorters. The goal of the 2010 ASME Student Design Competition is
to design, build, and test an autonomous system capable of accurately sorting common recyclable materials,
namely ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics and glass into distinct waste containers. The full program
discription can be found at ASME's Student Design Competition
page.
