MUMBAI, India, Jan. 7 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511102902 A) filed by Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab, on Oct. 25, 2025, for 'modular waste sorting system using multispectral sensors and ai accelerator for high precision recycling.'
Inventor(s) include Jasleen Kaur Paintal.
The application for the patent was published on Dec. 12, under issue no. 50/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A modular waste sorting system (100) for recycling facilities comprises a conveyor belt (102), multispectral sensing module (104), custom AI accelerator chip (106) for hardware-optimized CNN classification, modular pneumatic sorting arms (108), and a microcontroller-based control module (110). Waste items transported on the conveyor are captured by multispectral sensors, analyzed in real-time by the AI chip, and sorted by actuators with 98% accuracy and 35% reduced latency compared to GPU-based systems. The pneumatic actuators are energy-efficient and reconfigurable, allowing the sorting module to adapt to different waste types and volumes. The system supports scalable deployment for small, medium, and large recycling facilities, reduces contamination, enhances throughput, and improves sustainability. Real-time monitoring is enabled through a frontend dashboard. The modular architecture provides a practical and adaptable solution for modern recycling and waste management operations."
