SmartBin – Detect garbage type using ML to open right bin
SmartBin – Detect garbage type using ML to open right bin
TEAM: LittleBotmakers
Project Details
Project Description: The idea is to create a smart bin which will detect the garbage type using Machine Learning object detection model and open the lid of the correct bin.
To develop the prototype I used lego boost and Pictoblox machine learning environment. It has a pulley system(motor connected to a string connected to the lid),there's a stand to hold a screen(laptop).You just hold the object in front of the object and the program will open the corresponding lid.After 5 seconds it will close the lid automatically. I have done the coding in Pictoblox and used existing Pictoblox object detection models.
Why?
While everyone understands the need for garbage segregation, there is no standard approach. Some countries uses 2 bin(Dry(Wet) while some country uses multi bin approach. So, it becomes confusing for people to understand which garbage will go to which bin. My idea will make garbage segregation easier.
