Abstract: In recent years the demand for productive waste sorting techniques has risen because of the need for a cleaner environment. The paper proposes a waste sorting robotic system that integrates parallel robots in a metallic cell in order to be able to sort different types of materials.
Keywords: Parallel robot, robotic system, waste management, recycling.
