The robot behavior was controlled with a commercially available industrial controller, which was reported insufficient for point-to-point operations required during solid waste handling.
In order to facilitate sustainable solutions in megacities, waste-to-energy study of municipal solid waste handling is conducted including anaerobic digestion and thermal cracking, together with power generation technologies and the utilization of residual waste heat.
Previous studies indicated a relationship between solid waste handling and increased health risk.
After an investigation, the environmental agency stated that it had found the company was "loading solid and hazardous waste materials outdoors, failing to regularly clean areas in which solid waste is handled and failing to contain, collect and dispose of waste water".
Alternatively, they may present an opportunity to rethink urban waste management planning such that high-concentration household residues like faeces and solid waste are handled by a "solid" collection system and low-concentration residues like greywater are conveyed in a "liquid" system.

Importantly, KKPKP laid the foundation for Swach (Solid Waste Collection and Handling), India's first wholly owned cooperative of self-employed waste pickers.
CLTS will help stop open defecation, promote washing hands with soap, and improve household water treatment, proper management of solid waste and proper handling of liquid waste and drainage.
We support initiatives that enable communities to play a leading role in developing and managing "community-based total sanitation"; that is where five main pillars of sanitation are properly addressed – stopping open defecation, promoting washing hands with soap, improving household water treatment, proper management of solid waste and proper handling of liquid waste and drainage.
But neither vermicomposting nor direct bacterial action during any of the economically viable solid waste degradation processes can handle lignin ([4,5] a, b).
Even with a well-developed infrastructure to handle solid waste, the U.S. contributed 40,000 to 110,000 metric tons per year, and ranked 20th, they found.
