STUDENT DESIGN COMPETITION — EARTH SAVER: AUTONOMOUS MATERIAL SORTER
Undergraduate
Students — Only Limit: No Limit on Number of Entries / School — Individuals
may participate on only one team.
Recycling is a global industry accounting
for more than 1.5 million jobs and $100 billion in annual revenue. As a whole,
the industry currently processes more than 600 million metric tons of material
annually, growing with the expansion of the global, green economy. This global
expansion presents an increased need for new, efficient and cost-effective waste
material sorters. The goal of the 2010 ASME Student Design Competition is to design,
build, and test an autonomous system capable of accurately sorting common recyclable
materials, namely ferrous and non-ferrous metals, plastics and glass into distinct
waste containers. Your job is to design, build, and test a system capable of rapidly
and accurately sorting the four waste materials noted above into distinct waste
containers. This system must operate autonomously and be capable of both material
identification and waste handling. Points will be awarded based on the proper
identification and handling of the waste materials, as well as the speed required
to process the materials and the weight of the device. SPDC
