About

Aashir Waleed is a researcher at the forefront of integrating artificial intelligence and assistive technology to address pressing societal challenges. His work spans two critical domains: low-cost biomedical engineering and AI-driven smart city infrastructure. Waleed’s key contribution to assistive technology is the design and development of a low-cost, wireless-controlled 3D prosthetic hand using flex sensors (2021, 4 citations), a project that demonstrates his commitment to making life-changing technology accessible to underserved populations. More recently, he has focused on environmental sustainability, authoring a comprehensive review of AI-powered waste segregation (2026, 3 citations). This work systematically examines the convergence of computer vision, IoT-enabled smart bins, robotic automation, and blockchain frameworks, directly supporting the ambitious goals of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 for creating smart, sustainable cities. By bridging the gap between cutting-edge AI and tangible real-world applications—from restoring human function to revolutionizing urban waste management—Waleed’s research portfolio showcases a clear trajectory toward impactful, human-centered innovation.
