Main objective
To integrate a system capable of conveying, identifying, labelling and sorting out used portable batteries. In addition, the two following sub-objectives were set as well:
1. To have cognitive system which is agilent to future variation in the fraction, as well as
2. Validate the usability of AI based machine vision system with real-world industrial process
Short description
The project Robotic Sorter for Used Portable Batteries, or RoSo_UPB, focused on examining the recyckle process for used portable batteries from the point-of-view of automatic sorting. In the project, various methods for identifying the type of battery were investigated and listed. Based on these methods, the most efficient ones were selected for testing them in practice as well as forming suggestions for making the sorting of the used portable batteries automatically. One of the main goals of the project was to form a realistic overview on how the sorting should be done in practice when automated – and trough this overview, to bring the end-user closer for the real-world application.
