Too-Gather was an idea that became reality thanks to the inspiration and help we received from the ICE Honours programme organised by Thomas More. Not to mention that our work sessions mainly took place at the Thomas More school in Turnhout and Geel. We would like to thank Vanderheyden, Ice Cube, Balo Turnhout, IT Factory Geel and Thomas More for all the inspiration, guidance and motivation they gave us!
We at Too-Gather find it very important to reuse materials. This is what we have done with this piano. There is already a whole history attached to it.
But why do we use a piano? Well, it's just striking. Who wouldn't want a grand piano? We combine the useful with the pleasant with this solution. Our AI-waste sorting solution is built on top of the piano, so our machine will certainly be noticed by the general public and we can further inform people about the importance of waste sorting and recycling.
Thank you Music Vanderheyden for donating this beautiful grand piano.
At Too-Gather we work with the very latest technology, one of which is artificial intelligence. We use this to sort our waste. We have four different types of waste: PMD, paper/cardboard, metals (cans) and a residual group.
The waste is recognised at the beginning of our machine by our camera and then the AI decides to which container the piece of waste should be taken. The whole system is fully automatic. After the piece of waste is recognised, the motors of the trolley are activated. Depending on the type of waste, the trolley drives to the right position. After this the bin tilts towards the container and the waste falls out of the bin.
