Danu Robotics, an Edinburgh-based company founded by Amy Ma, has developed H. E. R. O., an intelligent recycling robot designed to automate waste sorting. The system distinguishes itself from competitors by using a mechanical pincer claw or gripper rather than suction-based methods.

Powered by artificial intelligence, the robot is designed to continuously learn and improve its ability to identify various materials. The technology aims to increase efficiency and reduce costs in waste management facilities. The company has already secured approximately $500,000 in signed contracts and letters of interest from two major corporations.
