Jaipur Robotics were selected at Venture Kick’s second financial and entrepreneurial support stage. Their projects push the boundaries of regenerative medicine by developing next-generation cell therapies for Parkinson’s disease; offer a SaaS solution for waste-to-energy plants to monitor waste piles using AI-driven cameras; and develop an inductive charging solution for EVs, enabling wireless and efficient energy transfer.

Jaipur Robotics: AI-powered waste recognition technology for Waste-to-Energy plants
Waste-to-energy (WtE) plants transform non-recyclable waste into electricity and heat. These plants face inefficiencies due to manual waste handling, leading to losses of up to USD 4.3M per plant annually. These losses result from unplanned downtime, electricity loss due to inefficient waste mixing, and labor shortages.
Jaipur Robotics offers a SaaS solution for waste-to-energy plants to monitor waste piles using AI-driven cameras. The system detects oversized and hazardous items, maps calorific value for optimal mixing, and provides real-time alerts to assist crane operators, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing costs. The founding team, Ermes Zamboni and Dr. Nikhil Prakash, brings an ETH Zurich educational background, combining engineering and machine learning expertise with extensive experience building automation technologies. The startup targets to tap into the USD 50 billion WtE industry.
With the Venture Kick Stage 1 grant, they plan to develop an upgraded sensor box with additional functionality and an improved website to attract potential clients.
