AI-powered robots can take your phone apart
THE WORLD'S rubbish heaps are filling up with valuable electronics. According to the UN, some 62m tonnes of e-waste were produced in 2022, enough to fill a line of lorries parked bumper-to-bumper around the equator. Only 22% is recycled. Most of the rest ends up in landfills or incinerators, where in 2024 recoverable raw materials worth $63bn went to waste. That figure is expected to grow to more than $80bn by 2030. Getting those materials out of the rubbish is a challenge. Many are contaminated when e-waste is crushed during recycling, which can limit the effectiveness of specialist extraction techniques. The process is made more straightforward if products are disassembled and their components sorted by composition before crushing. Copper can then be recovered from wiring. Gold, silver and other precious metals can be leached from circuit boards, along with cobalt, lithium, manganese and nickel from batteries. Rare-earth magnets can be pulled from electric motors. The trouble is that disassembly is labour-intensive and costly. Automation is also tricky: robots are good at putting together a specific item but struggle to recognise and take apart the thousands of different devices that end up in the rubbish. A new generation of robots powered by artificial-intelligence (AI) models, however, looks to be up to the job. Some of these AI-assisted robots are being developed for in-house recycling schemes run by manufacturers, who have an intimate knowledge of how their products are put together. Apple, for example, uses a system called Daisy. A decade ago, an early version could dismantle only one type of iPhone; now, with the help of AI, Daisy can handle more than 20. Microsoft is developing a robot to disassemble computer hard drives. These are usually crushed whole to destroy any sensitive data, but if the drives are dismantled, only the platters containing data need be crushed. ABB, a Swedish-Swiss electrical-engineering group, is working with Molg, an American recycler, on a network of robotic 'minifactories' to dismantle and recover material from the electronics used in vast data centres. José Saenz and his team at the Fraunhofer Institute for Factory Operation and Automation in Magdeburg, Germany have a still more ambitious goal. They are developing a robotic system that can be used in a general recycling centre, where it would need to be flexible enough to dismantle a wide variety of e-waste, ranging from phones to electric-vehicle batteries, LED screens and solar panels. Their starting point is an AI-assisted robot that can disassemble old desktop PCs, many of which are more than a decade old. The first thing the team's robot does is identify any product it is offered. A camera photographs the item and compares the snap with pictures of different PCs. The robot also scans any labels and product codes to check whether service manuals or other disassembly tips are available online. It can search for other clues, in much the same way ChatGPT might, when asked a similar question, turn up videos posted online by people who have done the job before. All this information is analysed and stored in the robot's memory, where it can be updated and used for reference the next time such a product comes into the recycling centre. Once the identification is complete, the AI system then determines which components are worth removing, either in the form of raw materials or as complete parts to be refurbished and used again. It also checks the integrity of rivets, screws and other fasteners, because years of wear, tear and repair mean some parts may need to be cut out. Analysis done, the AI generates a disassembly sequence to operate the robot's arms. These are equipped with a selection of tools, such as drills, grippers and screwdrivers, to remove and sort items. So far, the team has got each stage in the disassembly process working in separate machines. They are now linking these together into a single robotic device able to complete the whole process. Once dismantling PCs has been mastered the team will train robots to tackle other products. The learning process will take time. Dr Saenz thinks it could be five years until they develop a commercial disassembly robot that could usefully work at a recycling centre taking apart anything from PCs to white goods and televisions. Firms that want to recycle their own, limited range of products could probably put together something more quickly. A multi-purpose robot would probably be popular, since companies are under increasingly fierce legislative pressure to take responsibility for the end-of-life management of their products, either directly or by employing specialists to recycle for them. The rise of smarter spanner-wielding robots, therefore, should encourage more firms to ensure their products are useful in death, as they were in life.

LEAP to be a blockbuster initiative to boost AI talent pool: Sankanur
Dharwad: Karnataka Innovation and Technology Society (KITS) managing director Rahul Sankanur said the LEAP (Local Economy Accelerator Programme) launched by the department of IT and BT will be a blockbuster initiative to strengthen India's artificial intelligence (AI) talent pool. The IAS officer was speaking to the media after taking part in the Jan AI Conclave organised by IIIT-Dharwad on Thursday. Sankanur noted that the state govt has earmarked Rs 1,000 crore for the programme and plans are under way to bring as many as 17 AI-focused initiatives under its ambit. "Bengaluru, with over 7,000 startups, accounting for 20% of India's total, has firmly established itself as the country's startup hub. It is ranked among the world's top 10 startup destinations and is already among the top five AI talent hubs globally. This momentum provides abundant opportunities for young engineers to build AI-driven startups," he said. Meanwhile, Prof Santanu Bhattacharya of MIT Media Labs observed that AI is poised to revolutionise the world, and India must develop region-specific micro templates to effectively address local problems. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Australian Startup Develops Innovative Help for Neuropathy healthreliefstore Click Here Undo "For India to grow exponentially, rural incomes must rise significantly. AI can play a transformative role in strengthening agriculture, healthcare, and language technologies. Voice-based modules, for instance, could go a long way in easing rural challenges. Young technocrats should focus on developing apps that enable small vendors to market their produce, thereby boosting the rural economy," he suggested. Head Held High Foundation managing trustee Madan Padaki said, "So far, 3,500 people have registered for Jan AI, and 1,500 have been certified upon course completion. With the establishment of Jan AI Kendras, villagers will have access to a wealth of sectoral information, eventually creating an 'AI Village' ecosystem." IIIT-Dharwad director Mahadev Prasanna highlighted that the institute is playing a vital role in making AI accessible to the common man. He revealed that students at IIIT-Dharwad are currently developing two AI-powered apps, one for agriculture and another for healthcare. "The agri app allows farmers to photograph diseased crops, after which AI instantly diagnoses the issue and suggests remedies. Similarly, a mental health app is being designed to provide psychiatric support," he added. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

FITT Forward 2025 showcases how deep-tech startups are transforming daily life in India
New Delhi: From fabrics that kill bacteria within minutes to India's first autonomous pool-cleaning robot, the two-day FITT Forward 2025 showcase at IIT Delhi is offering a sneak peek into the future. For investors, policymakers and enthusiasts alike, it's a live demonstration of how deep-tech startups are reshaping everyday life. One of the biggest crowd-pullers at the event, which began Thursday, is a bio-processing breakthrough that transforms ordinary textiles into herbal wellness garments — skin-friendly fabrics infused with natural extracts. Alongside this is an advanced antimicrobial fabric that neutralises 99.9% of bacteria and viruses within half an hour, a direct response to the post-pandemic world. Mobility and urban living are also being redefined by tech. One startup has created AI that recognises traffic signs in real time, aiding smarter navigation and safety. Another is building camera-based traffic classification systems, already helping global city planners redesign urban spaces. Parallelly, an indigenous engineering venture is powering simulation software for the auto industry, quietly anchoring India in global supply chains. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like NRIs Living In Ukraine Are Eligible For INR 2 Lakh Monthly Pension.

"Startups thrive when they tackle two fronts — everyday lifestyle challenges and long-term aspirational ones," said Dr Nikhil Agarwal, managing director, FITT. "While solving daily problems often creates sustainable businesses, investing in futuristic challenges ensures humanity is prepared for what lies ahead." Accelerating these solutions, Agarwal said, depends on the 'triple helix of innovation' — a model where govt, academia and industry work in tandem. "In India, proactive govt policies, abundant funding and strong institutional support from incubators like IIT Delhi have created fertile ground for startups," he added. In health tech, innovators are pushing boundaries with portable diagnostic kits that can detect illnesses through urine samples, making lab-grade testing affordable for rural communities. Another venture is presenting predictive healthcare wearables that track real-time body data to flag diseases before symptoms surface. Even pill-taking is being reimagined, with 'smart patches' delivering nutrients transdermally — no tablets required. "We have developed a camera-holding device for laparoscopic surgeries, designed to address the frequent collisions, hand fatigue and shaky imaging that make paediatric procedures especially challenging. The prototype offers surgeons six degrees of freedom using a spherical gear mechanism and dual-switch control — allowing smooth, precise movement and stable positioning during long surgeries. The team has also built a VR-based surgical simulation game to train users in a realistic yet engaging environment, making practice both effective and accessible," said Gouri Naik from IIT's Department of Design. The robotics aisle is buzzing with excitement, with India's first autonomous underwater robot designed for pool-cleaning and disinfection making its debut. Equally dazzling are the drone pioneers behind the nation's largest light shows, now pivoting toward everyday UAV solutions for rescue, logistics, and beyond. Advitya Dutt Kaushik from IIT Delhi's Centre for Biomedical Engineering said his lab is developing virtual reality-based therapies to help stroke patients regain upper-limb mobility and overcome spasticity. Beyond products, the event highlights India's growing presence in cybersecurity and ethical hacking training, with networks already spanning over 100 global centres. Assistive tech for persons with disabilities is also earning accolades at the showcase. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
