Robotics in solid waste handling: From science fiction to reality
It is currently estimated that approximately 55% of the world population lives in urban centers (World Bank, 2020). This is partly caused by phenomena such as the migration of people from rural areas toward cities. A direct consequence of this situation is the increase in solid waste (SW) generation. For more about this article see link … [Read more...] about Robotics in solid waste handling: From science fiction to reality
