IIT-M’s Robot to Clean Septic Tanks Without Humans Will Help End Manual Scavenging

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

HomoSEP, a robot to eliminate the practice of manual scavenging in India, developed by researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, is all set for field deployment.

Plans are afoot to deploy 10 units across Tamil Nadu with researchers already establishing contact with sanitation workers to identify locations. According to a press release issued by IIT-M today, Gujarat and Maharashtra are also being considered for deployment.

This robot has been developed over the last several years by a team led by Professor Prabhu Rajagopal, Centre for Nondestructive Evaluation, IIT-M, faculty at the department of mechanical engineering and IIT-Madras-incubated startup Solinas Integrity Private Limited. The team has been in close touch with sanitation workers. Support for this team has come from the Safai Karamchari Andolan (SKA), an NGO dedicated to the elimination of manual scavenging, along with CSR partners—GAIL Foundation, CapGemini, NSE Foundation and L&T Technology Foundation.

Experimental device breaks up blood clots using twisted ultrasound

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, neuroscience

It goes without saying that if someone has a blood clot in their brain, that clot should be cleared as soon as possible. An experimental new transducer could help, as it uses swirling waves of ultrasound to break up blood clots much faster than existing methods.

Developed by scientists at North Carolina State University and the Georgia Institute of Technology, the device is designed specifically for use on what are known as cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) clots. These form in veins that ordinarily allow blood to drain from the brain. When those veins are blocked, blood pressure in the brain increases, to the point that a potentially lethal or disabling hemorrhage may occur.

Most existing CVST treatments involve using drugs to dissolve the clot. According to the team behind the new study, however, it takes an average of about 29 hours – and never less than 15 hours – for such medications to work. By contrast, the new transducer breaks up the clots in less than 30 minutes.

Uh, Earth’s Inner Core Just Stopped Spinning

Posted by in category: futurism

Ok, just let me off this decade already.


Our understanding of Earth’s inner core doesn’t have a strong history. Ancient days, of course, had folks believing in a hollow core. Then came the understanding of iron and a molten mixture making up Earth’s middle, coupled with the theory of spinning happening separate from the rest of Earth. Song confirmed the spinning theory in 1996.
