Robotic realities – Matanya Horowitz, founder, AMP Robotics
The last several years have seen the entrance of robotics into facilities handling municipal solid waste. These systems promise a number of benefits including the low-retrofit automation of pick lines, the sorting of problematic materials and a new avenue of data collection. In this talk, the founder of a robotics technology company discussed some of these advancements and the potential application in electronics recycling.
Sound strategy – Peter Holgate, founder, Ronin8
This presentation details one company's development of a platform technology that uses sound energy to separate materials according to their specific gravity. The strategy can create clean fiberglass from a non-metal concentrate, and it can also facilitate the use of less solvent and higher recovery to manage exo-thermic reactions.
