Single stream recycling is largely solved. Unsurprisingly, humanoid form factors aren't optimized for conveyor flows of materials.
Lots of gates, air puffers, filters, size categorizers, etc. Maybe you could add an arm at the end, but there's no reason for the legs and torso of a humanoid robot.

- java-man 8y agoThank you for posting this video! Very interesting. As for robots, I was envisioning a sort of multi-tentacle thing that hangs over the conveyor, with multiple cameras and manipulators that can quickly extend, grab a piece, and drop it into an appropriate bin. No need to have a humanoid form of course.
