ACTIVATION
Objective of Proposal Idea:
Road vehicles are getting automated however, this is based on basic following/tracking algorithms and not on the human behaviour. Human (driver) behaviours are not usually considered real-time during the control units’ development. The development to be made here will arise to a medium of transforming knowledge and experience into a product. The product will be a human-centred real-time library. Increased level of Smart Green Systems Increased level of vehicle safety Increased level of vehicle comfort
Optimal emission-free local public transport
Objective of Proposal Idea:
In order to achieve environmental friendly public transport, the way to go at the time are electric busses. Many obstacles must be tackled before the operations can be switched to those alternative drives. We combine research approaches from classic traffic research with advanced machine learning techniques to achieve optimal transport networks for electric busses. We invite any public tranport provider interested in switching to emsission-free operations to take part in our research pursuit.
Intelligent & Connected Offshore Wind Farm Maintenance Planning Framework (iConnect-OWF)
Objective of Proposal Idea:
Offshore wind farms (OWFs) are complex dynamic systems that depend on atmospheric conditions for energy generation and system operation & maintenance (O&M). In order to undertake effective O&M actions it is necessary to determine weather windows that enable accessibility to the farm. In this context, an updated health estimation of wind turbines is crucial to reduce costs and increase reliability. However, the OWF energy production is surrounded by uncertainties, such as wind speed, sea conditions, as well as the degradation process and interactions between electrical and mechanical components. Hence, remote and online condition monitoring and runtime maintenance planning are vital[...]
AI and Robotics for Quality and Risk Management in Industrial Harsh Conditions
Objective of Proposal Idea:
This project is based on the perceived potential of the use of robotics in harsh conditions through the utilization of AI, next generation wireless sensors (IoT platform), wireless networks (5G), image analysis, and autonomous robotics. The possibility of using drones and mobile robotics in monitoring/inspection has been sparking the interest in the R&D field, especially in industrial harsh conditions. However as per recent research of drones in harsh conditions of mines, the main challenges drones face in harsh conditions are GPS-denied environment, lack of wireless signal, confined space issues, and high concentration of dust and toxic gases. Hence this project[...]
