- answering:
-
Your project should incorporate 2D and 3D design,
- additive and subtractive fabrication processes,
- electronics design and production,
- embedded microcontroller interfacing and programming,
- system integration and packaging
-
Where possible, you should make rather than buy the parts of your project
-
Projects can be separate or joint, but need to show individual mastery of the skills, and be independently operable

What I’ve done this week¶
What will it do?¶
I would like to make a trash box that automatically sort trash. I’m thinking of making a trash box for Fablab Kuriyama.
First Idea (2022/1/26)¶
- As a requirement for taking the Fabacademy at Fablab Kuriyama, the goal of the final project is to find a problem in Kuriyama Town and solve it.
- Kuriyama Town has a very strict garbage separation policy.There are many types of garbage to be separated,
- household trash segregation
- Food Waste
- Garbage that can be made into charcoal
- Garbage that cannot be made into charcoal
- Plastics
- Cans, bottles and PET bottles
- Paper
- Iron, metal, aluminum foil
- Wooden chopsticks
- Glass
- household trash segregation
You can check this website to find out what type of garbage is covered by this site.
https://www.town.kuriyama.hokkaido.jp/site/trash/196.html
Even if it is the same plastic, there are different types of garbage depending on whether it has a mark on it or not.
If it is marked with this symbol, you can dispose of it in a plastic trash box.
First Spiral (2022/5/1)¶
I would like to create something like the following image.
These are divided into three parts.
Trash box part, Trash Separator part and Image Recognition part.
(2022/5/23)¶
I have completed the machine First Spiral
After this, I will update the packaging (hide wiring, add drag chains, etc.).
Flow¶
-
Flow (2022/5/22)
- 1, Put trash on the table of the sorting machine.
- 2, A camera attached to the Rasbperry Pi recognize trash among (trash that can be turned into charcoal, trash that cannot be turned into charcoal, plastic, recyclable trash, and batteries).
- 3, Rasbperry Pi “GET” request to ESP32 for target trash name via HTTP protocol.
- 4, Esp32, waiting as a web server, receives the “GET” request
- 5, Target trash is moved to the front of the target trash box by the Stepper moter controlled by the ESP32 board
-
6, Rack and pinion gears move the platform on which the trash is placed forward.
-
7, Ultrasonic sensor attached to the trash box detects the moving base and opens the lid.
- 8, Base tilts with servo moter and the trash falls
-
9, Restore the angle of the table with servo moter.
-
10, Rack and pinion allow the base to move backward.
-
11, Return the table of the sorting machine to its initial position with stteper motor.
-
12, Trash box lids close.
-
13, ESP32 returns “success response 200” to RaspberryPi
Who has done what beforehand?¶
A self-made sorting system that artificial intelligence automatically performs separation of such troublesome waste
Three trash boxes are lining up, which is different from the separation of garbage in Japan, but from the left”Recycling garbage” “Landfill waste” “Compost garbage”It is said that it is a sort of separation.
Image recognition and stepping motors are controlled using Raspbery pi3
An AI-Powered Waste Sorting Robot from BHS powered by Sadako’s AI
they had training their deep learning algorithms. The sorts of things they’re solving for are particular objects like polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles along with other thermoset plastics that can be recycled. The bottles can either be full of air or crinkled, and also partially obscured by other bits of rubbish. The algorithm is able to handle all these cases in almost real-time with a very high degree of accuracy thanks to the powers of deep learning:
What will you design?¶
I will create three major parts
Trash box, Trash Separator and Image Recognition System.
Trash box¶
(2022/5/1)
I am going to create three trash boxes at first spiral.
I have already completed the general framework of the trash box. I need to decide how to store the electric board and batteries.
Once the design is finalized, I will create three trash boxes.
Trash separator¶
(2022/5/1)
I have already decided on the general design for this one as well. I still need to create a base for the circuit, as it is a breadboard. I also need to create a base to match the height of the trash box and a mechanism needs to be created to place trash in the trash box.
Image Recognition System¶
(2022/5/1) I need to create a base to hold the camera in place.
