原标题：Danu Robotics’ fight to build a better recycling robot
AI 摘要
Danu Robotics 创始人 Amy Ma 推出回收分拣机器人 H.E.R.O.，采用夹爪而非吸盘，并利用 AI 持续优化软件。公司已获得 50 万美元签约合同、两个大客户意向书，销售管道中有 200 多家客户，并完成 500 万美元后期种子轮融资。Ma 估算机器人可为回收站带来 48.5 万美元额外收入，而初始投资 16 万美元、年维护费 2.4 万美元，成本低于 Glacier、RecycleEye 等竞品。下一步目标是让机器人更坚固、更小、更通用，以进入活动、商场、医院、机场等场景。
