In Ep16 of The Robot Brains Podcast we were joined by Matanya Horowitz the founder and CEO of AMP Robotics an industrial AI firm that’s building #recycling robots to build a "world without waste". An estimated $200bn worth of recyclable materials are lost to landfill around the world including rare minerals that are expensive and costly (most of all ecologically) to mine. AMP’s incredible "waste sorting robots" recover this recyclable material from trash at superhuman speeds and with extremely high accuracy. Matanya's AI-powered robots employ advanced vision systems and robust robotics all for the ultimate aim of improving the ecological impact of waste on our environment. In his chat with Pieter Abbeel, Matanya explains how he started AMP Robotics, why he decided to get into the trash business, and what he imagines the future of a "waste free world" will look like?
