Antfarm makes waste sorting more profitable and efficient by using robots and AI to identify and separate recyclables. It designs and builds autonomous robotic systems — often deployed as coordinated swarms — that use computer vision and machine learning to detect, pick, and sort materials on conveyor lines. Antfarm operates as a B2B robotics and AI company selling to recycling facilities, material recovery facilities, and waste processors. The product combines hardware, perception software, and control systems and can integrate into existing sorting lines. The company targets the global recycling market to improve material recovery rates and operational economics.
