The Internet of Trash: IoT Has a Looming E-Waste Problem. Robotic System Leads to Mass Assembly of Nanostructures


By 2021, the world will generate 52.2 million metric tons of e-waste globally per year. The Internet of Things will make the situation far worse if we don’t change the way we design and build electronics.
A lack of forethought will leave us with a mountain of obsolete devices and no way to dispose of them

Robots are much better than humans at assembling objects and devices at the nanoscale. This new robotic assembly system could be a game changer for nanoscale research and lead to large-scale nanotechnology manufacturing.
A precursor to molecular nanotechnology, the robotic system is already poised to be commerically available
