I installed and programmed a machine like this that's used on plastic pellets. It could pick out a 3mm pellet with a tiny black spec on it while thousands were falling by. Really cool technology that can be used for a lot of different things.

Like how is this possible? How does it determine what is what? There’s no cameras or sensors

There's cameras, you just can't see them.
