Abstract
It A waste sorting robot () comprises a manipulator () moveable within a working area (). A gripper () is connected to the manipulator () and arranged to selectively grip a waste object () in the working area (). A controller () is in communication with a sensor () and is configured to receive detected object parameters, and determine a throw trajectory () of the gripped waste object () towards a target position () based on the detected object parameters of the gripped waste object (). The controller () is configured to send control instructions to the gripper () and/or manipulator () so that the gripper () and/or manipulator () accelerates the gripped waste object () and releases the waste object () at a throw position with a throw velocity and throw angle towards the target position () so that the waste object () is thrown along the determined throw trajectory (). A related method of controlling a waste robot is also disclosed.
