Abstract: Automated System for Cleaning, Sorting, and Recycling Debris from Collapsed Buildings in Disaster Zones This invention describes an automated system designed for efficient post-disaster debris management, integrating robotic excavation, AI-driven material classification, and a recycling module. The system features articulated robotic arms equipped with sensors for detecting reusable materials, a conveyor-based segregation unit for sorting metals, concrete, wood, and hazardous waste, and an AI-powered classification mechanism for directing materials to specific recycling processes. The recycling unit converts debris into reusable forms, promoting sustainable reconstruction. The system operates autonomously with minimal human intervention, utilizing LiDAR, thermal imaging, and machine learning for optimal efficiency. IoT-enabled sensors provide real-time data, ensuring adaptive operations. By automating collection, sorting, and recycling, the invention minimizes environmental impact, reduces cleanup time, and enhances resource recovery, facilitating rapid post-disaster recovery while reducing operational costs and landfill dependency.
