On Thursday, October 19th, the participants of the Erasmus project ‘Journey of  a Tree’ (https://www.erasmusly.com/journey-of-a-tree-erasmus-project-35798.html) visited the Foundation for Research & Technology – FORTH. This program focuses on cooperation and the exchange of good practices. As part of the RECLAIM project, Mr. Michalis Maniadakis gave the visitors a presentation regarding the recycling process and the […]

Kefalonia Island – september 2023 – A new, visible step in the process of RECLAIM: a baler of 200kg has been installed. This baler provides compaction of different types of sorted materials in one unit. In this way is ensured the less waste volumes to transport and therefore less transportation cost and reduced c02 emissions.

RECLAIM activities have been recently focused on the construction of the prMRF (portable robotic Material Recovery Facility) and the installation of the mechanical equipment within. Τhe mechanical equipment installed in the prMRF has gone under actual testing in the loop mode of operation for several hours . The prMRF has been fed with sample recyclable

In this short film, you can see four techniques that have been developed, tested and evaluated by KU Leuven. At KU Leuven they are working hard on developing and testing new techniques for the portable, robotic Material Recovery Facility (prMRF). Techniques presented in the video:   1) High Airflow Vertical Conveying (HAVCO) gripper. This innovative

The container box that will serve for the development of the RECLAIM project’s portable robotic material recovery facility (prMRF) was received and installed at FORTH (Foundation for Research and Technology-Hellas). The prMRF container has been prepared by HERRCO and in addition to the vibrating dispenser, industrial magnet and more than 25 meters of conveyor belts,

We tested which material the partners appreciate during exhibition participation. For example, Iris tested a self-running PowerPoint and printed flyers at the trade fair next door. The aim is to raise awareness of the RECLAIM project and to encourage visitors to sign up for the e-mail newsletter. The choice was made for a self-rotating PowerPoint

We look back on a successful RECLAIM project meeting in Barcelona (April 20). For a day, the partners talked about the progress in the project, which is working towards a portable, robotic MRF (prMRF) tailored to small-scale material recovery. All work packages (projects) were discussed: from the development of special robot grippers and RGB color

The RECLAIM: AI-powered Robotic Material Recovery in a Box was presented at the Launch Event: Paving the way towards the next generation of R&I excellence in AI, Data and Robotics on the 17th of October 2022.
