Robotics Technologies in Urban Smart Waste Management

Abstract

Urban waste management is a critical issue due to population growth and urbanization, requiring sustainable and innovative approaches. Robotics technologies offer promising solutions to optimize waste collection, sorting, and recycling processes in urban environments. By incorporating robotics into waste management systems, cities can enhance efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and improve urban sustainability. Robotics can automate tasks, reduce manual labor, and improve safety by minimizing human exposure to hazardous environments. They can also enhance waste monitoring and tracking, enabling real-time data collection and analysis. Artificial intelligence can result in predictive maintenance systems, reducing downtime and improving system reliability. However, the environmental impact and cost-effectiveness of robotic waste disposal systems in urban environments need further research. Future research should focus on advanced G-IoT applications, cybersecurity concerns, and evaluating the impact of IoT on waste reduction and resource optimization
