Development of AI-based Recycling Bins Using MobileNet-SSD Networks

With the rapid development of industrial technologies, a lot of wastes have been produced in modern life. In order to efficiently recycle the wastes, this paper has designed and implemented an intelligent recycling bin using the MobileNet-SSD (Single-Shot Detector) networks. Experimental results indicate the feasibility and practicality of the implemented system, in which the accuracy reaches above 90% for the plastic bottles and metal cans.
