Traditional waste incineration generates a large amount of exhaust gas, resulting in adverse environmental impacts. Therefore, we developed an organic and intelligent photochemical processing system that utilizes high-energy lasers for incineration, thereby reducing the production of exhaust gas. A large-scale laser machine was set up, incorporating low-cost 2D Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) technology for system sensing, which performs angle range and threshold filtering, as well as multispectral laser allocation, integrated with the laser ablation machine system. After testing, the error was <5 mm (<8%), achieving precise object scanning and ranging and solving the problem of manual laser positioning. Experimental results showed that CO2 lasers can effectively process organic materials and medical waste of different sizes. This innovative research will have profound implications for the future development of environmental protection and incineration technologies. In the future, it has widespread application prospects in areas such as pet waste disposal and medical waste treatment.
