Sadako Technologies
Barcelona, Spain AI robotics company founded 2012; its computer-vision sorting software runs inside the BHS Max-AI recycling robot line.
Sadako Technologies is a robotics company founded in 2012 and headquartered in Barcelona, Spain, operating as an independent developer of artificial-intelligence software for waste-sorting equipment.
The company builds vision and control software that uses deep learning to identify recyclable materials, such as different plastic types, moving on conveyor belts at material recovery facilities, then directs a robotic arm to pick and sort the identified items faster than conventional optical sorters can distinguish similar-looking materials. Sadako's software was developed into the Max-AI line of sorting robots jointly with recycling-equipment maker Bulk Handling Systems, combining Sadako's recognition and control layer with BHS's sorting hardware.
An early commercial installation of the technology went into service at an Athens Services materials recovery facility in Los Angeles in April 2017, with further units later installed at a recycling facility in Pennsylvania. Sadako had also received a research grant from the European Union toward its sorting-robot development, in addition to private investment.
