Our project

Confronting the challenges of waste management in Rosario, the MecaArm:bit team has made significant progress in recycling classification. This innovative project, carried out by students Nicolás and Matías, leverages technology to transform the way recyclable materials are managed. This prototype aims to revolutionize the recycling process and contribute to a more sustainable future for the city.

Our inspiration

Due to the lack of adequate recycling infrastructure and the inefficiency in material separation, this technological device aims to optimize the recycling process through the implementation of an intelligent robotic arm. Using a combination of computer vision technology and a trained neural network, the MecaArm:bit. is capable of identifying and classifying various types of waste, such as bags, bottles, and cans, with an overall effectiveness rate of 91.4%. This advancement not only promises a more efficient waste management system but could also serve as a model for future technological solutions in the region, contributing to greater environmental sustainability.
