Glacier is training AI-powered recycling robots


This week, Glacier co-founder Rebecca Hu chats with Found about wish-cycling and robots.

Hu said training the robots to spot materials was akin to teaching a toddler how to tell two things apart. “If you give them 100, 1000, a million examples of aluminum cans, they get pretty good at pattern matching,” she told Found. This gave way to the concept of “wish-cycling,” which is the process of someone throwing out something without exactly knowing if it belongs in the trash or the recycling bin.
