EcoX

Inspiration

-Noticing that a lot of ALU students do not throw their trash in the appropriate bin.

What it does

-User presents a trash item to the systems camera, and the system automaticaly opens the appropriate trash bin for the user's waste. This reduces waste contamination

How we built it

-** We trained the AI model using TeachMachine** (Approximately 18,000 images of different trashed ranging from Organic > Plastic > Paper & Cardboard ) -For the front-end we used html, vanilla CSS and Javascript to interpret the API -Built a 3d model to showcase a visual project prototype

Challenges we ran into

• Finding resources to train the AI model on
• Uploading over 18,000 images to TeachMachine -Building the 3d model ## Accomplishments that we're proud of
• Build a working demo that sorts trash accurately -Successfully building a 3d model -Deploying a working model for use by anyone ## What we learned
• 3d modelling -AI training -AI data interpretation ## What's next for EcoX
• Integrating an Arduino system that will communicate with the system to open the appropriate when presented with a waste item
