While sorting trash is often a mundane task that can quickly lose one’s interest, it also poses health risks if not done properly. That’s because ZenRobotics creates machines that excel at their tasks. The corporation’s latest innovation boasts exceptional waste-identification capabilities, capable of detecting more than 500 distinct types of refuse.
As we entered 2011, our robots had yet to venture into the business sector. By 2024, the corporation had successfully unveiled its latest innovation, ZenRobotics 4.0, marking a significant milestone in their technological journey. This Incarnation marks a significant leap forward in comparison to its antecedents.
Robots are designed to operate within predefined configurations, known as cells, adjacent to waste feed conveyor belts in municipal waste management facilities, industrial settings, or other locations where organic waste is processed.
As various objects crafted from wood, plastic, steel, and glass, among other materials, pass by, the robotic’s AI-driven object recognition system accurately detects and categorizes each type of fabric. The bot’s grasper then reaches in, grasping the article and placing it in its designated receptacle.
Prior to this, a standalone object recognition system handled supplies identification across the entire cell lineup, operating independently on a solitary sorting line. In ZenRobotics 4.0, each cell is equipped with a dedicated, compact “ZenBrain” AI module. This innovation significantly boosts accuracy and efficiency by a substantial 60 to 100 percent relative to previous versions.

Are you looking to make a decision between two advanced robotic options: the Heavy Picker 4.0 or the Quick Picker 4.0?
The Heavy Picker efficiently sorts gadgets of up to 40 kilograms or 88 pounds in weight, processing an impressive 2,300 items per hour. While some may think this is fairly speedy, the Quick Picker actually takes the cake with an astonishing rate of 4,800 picks per minute. itDespite its limitations, this crane, nonetheless, boasts a maximum lifting capacity of 1 kg (2.2 lb).
In a ZenRobotics setup, the Heavy Pickers initially focus on separating larger waste items, thereby allowing the more agile Quick Pickers operating further along the process to concentrate on handling smaller materials. When timing is crucial, the system can be programmed to prioritize identifying the most valuable resources initially, guaranteeing they don’t go unnoticed.
Watch the Quick Picker 4.0 in action through this accompanying video.
