In recent years, the recycling industry has taken a big hit.John Griffith with GFL Environmental in Denver, Colorado says the cost to recycle has gone up, and there’s more pressure to make sure what’s being recycled isn’t contaminated with trash.“We process probably 30 tons an hour,” Griffith said.Considering how much material the recycling facility takes in per day, low-cost efficiency is key, and technology has become its saving grace.“We’re using robotics and artificial intelligence to help deal with some of the primary challenges within the recycling facility,” AMP Robotics CEO Matanya Horowitz said.Created by AMP Robotics founder Matanya Horowitz, AMP Cortex is a high-speed robotics system guided by artificial intelligence.Here’s how it works: the brains and the eyes of the robot are at the top. As material passes below, its smart vision is able to pick out specific items to take out of the stream. Using its light-weight arms and rapid speed, a suction cup picks those objects up, and moves them to a different bin.“It’s very similar to just taking a vacuum cleaner you might have at home and putting it against a can and picking it up that way,” Horowitz said.The robot’s “smart vision” means it’s always learning new information. “This vision system is also connected with all the other robots across the country. So as one robot learns in a different part of the country or a different region, it also educates all the other robots so they’re constantly getting smarter,” Griffith said.However, the robot doesn’t work alone.“You could say these are the co-workers of our robot,” Griffith said as he passed human workers.Humans are still needed in the recycling process, but the robot has been able to take on sorting challenges that would otherwise be unsafe for people.“For obvious reasons, they don’t really mind getting stuck with hypodermic needles, or sifting through all the nasty stuff that ends up in the recycling like diapers, and so we can help move the manual sorter further away from these hazards,” Horowitz said.The robot at GFL Environmental is focusing its efforts on picking out items like milk jugs, coffee cups and margarine tubs. The materials were formerly considered trash, but now they can be put to valuable use and sold somewhere as another recyclable.“Our goal is to maximize the breadth of the recycling program, and by doing so, divert as much waste from the landfills into valuable purposes as possible,” Griffith said.Thanks to the robots, GFL Environmental is one of the first in the nation to recycle coffee cups. As more robots continue to deploy across the country, it’s clear artificial intelligence is helping to transform the recycling industry. Matanya says they’re efficient workers, but they’re also providing more transparency and data in the industry that has been historically difficult to obtain until now.“There hasn’t really been a sensor, or any means of automatically detecting how well things are working, where things are breaking down, where materials are ending up in the wrong spot. Artificial intelligence can do all that,” Horowitz said. 3127

It’s snow day in the nation’s capital. Washington, D.C. is just one of many places being hit by winter weather as Winter Storm Petra moves across the Midwest and eastern part of the country. Seven-year-old Elin Neuville and her father got the day off and took advantage of the snow by sledding all morning. But it wasn’t fun and games for many others. The weather went downhill overnight, bringing snow, sleet, and heavy rain across the country. More than 160 million people were impacted. The winter storm forced thousands of flights to be canceled, including more than 700 in and out of D.C. alone. Many passengers were left stuck at airports because of delays. “I've been up since about 5 or 6, just checking to see if my flight was going to be impacted and it wasn't. It wasn't until I got here it was delayed,” said one frustrated passenger. Flooding is a big concern in parts of the south. Nashville has already received more than a foot of rain. 966

Lawmakers in Russia are set to vote on the appointment of a new prime minister a day after President Vladimir Putin kicked off an unexpected reshuffle of his inner circle. Mikhail Mishustin, the chief of Russia's tax service, has already arrived at the lower house of parliament, or Duma, on Thursday and is meeting with lawmakers. The Duma is widely expected to approve his appointment. The 53-year-old Mishustin would replace Dmitry Medvedev, who was Putin's longtime ally and Russia's prime minister for the past eight years. Medvedev resigned Wednesday together with the whole Cabinet after Putin proposed sweeping changes to the constitution that could keep him in power well past the end of his term in 2024. 726

Just left a meeting with Chuck and Nancy, a total waste of time. I asked what is going to happen in 30 days if I quickly open things up, are you going to approve Border Security which includes a Wall or Steel Barrier? Nancy said, NO. I said bye-bye, nothing else works!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 9, 2019 333

Iranian state TV says a stampede at the funeral for a top general slain in a U.S. airstrike has killed 56 people and injured 213 others. Thousands of mourners had surrounded the coffin of Revolutionary Guard Gen. Qassem Soleimani in his hometown of Kerman when the crush occurred. It was unclear what set off the stampede. Online videos showed people lying lifeless on a road and others shouting and administering CPR. Soleimani's burial has been delayed, as officials have grown concerned about the large crowds that may attend.Soleimani's death has brought calls across Iran to take revenge against America, drastically raising tensions across the Middle East. On Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo 723
