Hi,
I am working on a project where i need to detect and differentiate between different
types of containers. I am trying to build a system that sorts out different materials types.
To be specefic, I need to sort out glass, metal, plastic and paper. So I need a sensor system that
detects material types. Is this possible? if yes, how can I achieve this?
Some people have told me that this is not possible and I need complex
sensors and spectrometers for this. But I have also heard this can be done
using array of sensors. 1 inductive sensor to detec metal and 1 capacitive sensor to detect non metals and metals and so on.
Any ideas how to implement this? how capacitive sensors work? do they output different voltage when they are
exposed to certain materials?
I would be grateful if you point me to the right direction.
thanks
