Experimental Evaluation of a Waste Management Robot System

Recently, there are many problems caused by global environment warming. The limited natural resources require efficient methods and systems for recycling and processing of the wastes for a better environment. One of the problems today is the processing of the kitchen garbage, because when they become in large amounts in small areas, the natural capacity of the environment can not assimilate them. Therefore, construction of the recycling systems is needed to save the resources and minimize the wastes. For this reason, in this paper, we have proposed and implemented waste management robots, which can change the kitchen garbage to compost. Then, the compost can be mixed with the ground and used for growing of vegetables and other plants. The proposed system uses the information network, sensor technology and robot technology. We present in this paper, the implementation of the proposed system and evaluate its performance by experimental results.
