Ongoing Innovations

Can Crusher Robot

• A smart pre-recycling robot that detects and crushes soda cans on the spot. It is connected to a mobile app to allow reward point system.

• It aims to create awareness on importance of can recycling which can eventually drive positive behavior change.

Why

How

What

Who/When

Our product will allow convenience

stores or malls to build traffic, and

drinks brand owners to build

consumer engagement, while at

the same time positively

influencing consumer waste

recycling behaviour and making

the reverse supply chain more

efficient.

By leveraging waste as an opportunity

to engage consumers, driving

behaviour change while at the same

time reducing the waste problem.

We propose an AIT-led, anchor partner-

funded cross-partner workshop in June/July

2018 to co-design, agree on pilot plans and

consider mechanisms for scaling.

Our economic growth model has

burdened the world with a growing

waste problem. We need to

change our growth model to make

it fit for a planet with 10 billion

consumers.

Plastic Bottle Shredder

• We consume 53 billion gallons of bottled water globally. Only 1 in 5 bottles are recycled

• One solution to the plastic waste problem is to recycle post-consumer waste and create a closed loop supply chain so that nothing goes to waste

• Plastic bottle shredder is a reverse vending machine (RVM) that facilitates on the spot waste segregation by detecting plastic bottle and shredding it to be ready for recycling

Assistive Technology

13

Tele-rehabilitation Arm

• The tele-rehabilitation robot provides remote physiotherapy services to patients anywhere, anytime.

• The underlying haptic technology of the robot enables the delivery of any clinical assessment or exercise similar to a patient who visits the rehabilitation clinic.

Haptic White Cane

• An assistive technology designed to help the visually impaired to explore their environment through sense of touch and hearing

• It detects environmental information such as obstacles and pits in the ground

• It has GPS tracker to help the person navigate the road

Mobile App for the Blind

• This Mobile App for the Visually Impaired called WAWTA (Thai word meaning eye expression) was developed with an integration of haptic and auditory sensories to help blind people recognize color by placing their mobile phone or tablet in front of the object they want to identify the color.

• It may seem too simple to those who can see, but for the blind it is a very useful app.

Advantages of Drone and Aerial Imagery Based Monitoring

• Gathering preliminary information

• Construction site preparation: orthophotography, DTM and DEM (3D mapping of the area), determination of geophysical parameters

• Preparation of visual demonstration items(3D models)

• Work progress control

• Workplace safety and security control and compliance supervision

• Additional source of data for decision making and improvement measures

• Prevention of and control over illegal construction

• Creation of panoramic 3D views of streets, neighborhoods, and buildings

• Creation of record for conflict resolution and information retrieval for maintenance

• Real-time data

• Advanced data processing

• Fine-Tuning of the construction

36

Setting up the system (AITS+MDC)1

3 Data processing and generating reports (AITS)

Overall Process

• Setting drones, cameras, and flight path

• Providing training site team for data acquisition

and uploading

• Create appropriate models

• Generate weekly, monthly reports:

o Detailed work progress

o 3D modelling

o Issues identified by AITS engineers ( if any)

o Summary of the work progress

o Construction process

o Progress animation

Site imaging through Drones and Cameras (MDC)2

• Site team takes regular images using drones and

other devices

• Uploads the images to servers

Starbucks’ second-largest market after the US is China,

where it has over 3,300 stores and operates with

virtually no serious competition.

A Beijing-based startup could change that. Luckin

Coffee has opened 525 outlets across China’s major

cities less than nine months after its launch (link in

Chinese). Today the fast-growing company confirmed

it’s closed a $200 million funding round giving it a $1

billion valuation. Investors include Centurium Capital, a

private equity fund founded by the former China head

of Warburg Pincus, and GIC, Singapore’s sovereign

wealth fund.
