Nephron

A circular resource collection
robot
turning waste into money
and resources

What is Nephron?

Nephron, a robot utilizing Industry 4.0 technology, embodies SuperBin’s philosophy
of the circular economy. It trades with people who bring waste. It sorts and collects circular resources and pays money to those
who bring them.

*Nephron refers to the smallest unit of the kidney. Just like the kidney that cleans and purifies the blood, our recycling robot, Nephron, collects recyclables in the city to clean and purify the world.

01

Nephron self-
learns and
identifies
resources

SuperBin and
Artificial
Intelligence

Nephron’s image sensing AI determines recyclability, and its deep-learning system increases accuracy.

Our AI system can select recyclable
waste regardless of its shape
or damaged barcode.

Nephron has
incorporated
not only AI
but also other
various
Industry 4.0
technologies as follows.

Big Data

Big data on waste is accumulated from images of recyclable resources.

Remote control

The robot is remotely controlled and its state is checked in real time.

Robotics

A robotic technology identifies and sorts recyclable resources.

02

Nephron pays rewards when
cans or PET bottles are
inserted.

SuperBin forms a new waste market. It establishes its
own waste trade platform by connecting the devices,
app service, and central control system(server).

03

SuperBin directly manages the
Nephron Operation Service

SuperBin’s own
professionals manage
Nephron.

We check and maintain Nephron, collect resources, and respond to any issues, including how to use the machine.
