CARM
A centre for Critical Raw Materials Recovery by Data and AI-driven Robotics
Have project idea? Contact us today!
The CARM Centre aims to develop innovation partnerships that can aid Europe’s goal to access critical raw materials through urban mining and automated recycling of e-waste.
Europe faces several technology barriers related to accessing critical raw materials; essential for the green transition, digitalization, and industry.
The CARM Centre contributes to solutions through research, technology, and collaboration across industry, academia, and the public sector.

- Automated PCB Component Recovery Using Machine Vision and Robotic Manipulation: Vision and motion
Hi, I’m Håvard Karlsen Solheim, a Mechatronics Master student at the University of Agder. Together with Aleksander Watson, and under the supervision of Ajit Jha and Muhammad Faisal Aftab, I’ve spent this semester working on a CARM project — building a robot arm that can see, understand, and pick up small electronic components entirely on… Read more: Automated PCB Component Recovery Using Machine Vision and Robotic Manipulation: Vision and motion - Automated PCB Component Recovery Using Machine Vision and Robotic Manipulation: Machine Learning and 3D-Printed Parts
Hi, I’m Aleksander Watson, a master mechatronics student at the University of Agder. This semester, together with Håvard Karlsen Solheim and under the supervision of Ajit Jha and Muhammad Faisal Aftab, I’ve been working on a project through the CARM Centre: Teaching a robot arm to recognize and pick up electronic components from circuit boards.… Read more: Automated PCB Component Recovery Using Machine Vision and Robotic Manipulation: Machine Learning and 3D-Printed Parts - Meet our Summer Interns: Automatisation for the identification of PCB’s components by hyperspectral imagery
Hello! My name is Thomas TAFFIN–LIBESSART, and I am currently studying mechanical engineering at SIGMA Clermont in France. This summer, I am working with the CARM Centre through University of Agder (UiA). I am excited to be part of a research and innovation environment that brings together researchers, students, and industry partners to develop new… Read more: Meet our Summer Interns: Automatisation for the identification of PCB’s components by hyperspectral imagery
