Overview
ALPHA (Automated Litter Processing Humanoid Assistant) is a humanoid robot designed for waste handling and sorting in harsh environments like recycling plants. It consists of a wheeled mobile base, a lifting column, a torso with two 6-DOF arms, and a head with binocular vision. The robot uses hyperspectral and 3D cameras for material recognition, with a cloud-based multi-robot coordination system. It can operate for up to 7 hours per charge and is designed to replace humans in dangerous, unsanitary, and repetitive waste management tasks, aiming for a pick rate of 42 picks per minute.
