A recent robotic system can effectively sort out recyclable materials from construction waste and could be the solution to the growing problem of handling global waste.

The team at ZenRobotics said, "It's a really difficult job for robots and machine learning systems to do. There are currently no such systems in the world, so our system is the first. Using a process called "sensor fusion,” the recycler analyses the data and sorts through objects on a conveyor belt and distributes them into surrounding chutes.”
ZenRobotics is hopeful that this creation will be a boon in relieving the burden of the repetitive and dangerous task of waste filtration, a job that is presently executed manually. Manual sorting of waste is hazardous for health with the presence of sharp materials , asbestos and heavy metals.
