The robotic arm component 3 transports the first type of waste to the waste bin at the first waste bin position 51. The transportation method for the second, third, and fourth types of waste is the same as that for the first type of waste. The robotic arm component 3 grabs the second, third, and fourth types of waste in sequence.
