Military personnel contend with more than their fair share of health problems, from the mental anguish wrought by combat to the physical ailments caused by unique exposures to hazardous chemicals or waste incinerated on-base.
The ZenRobotics Recycler is made up of off the shelf robotics components and uses data from a combination of visual sensors, mental detectors, weight measurements and feedback from its robotic arm to identify items and raw materials from waste.
Also, a police report of an 11-year-old girl found playing on waste ground was picked up by a health visitor whose records showed the girl's mother suffered from mental health problems.
