Student article showcasing a software prototype for improving aircraft maintenance planning using a novel decision support system.

Improving emergency response in the era of ADAS vehicles in the Smart City

A student article focusing on how the management of emergency vehicles can be fostered within a Smart City to suggest the best course of action in different traffic situations.

Concurrent-Mode CMOS Detector IC for Sub-Terahertz Imaging System

A student article proposing a CMOS detector with concurrent in-phase coupling to achieve high-quality images using THz imaging systems.

Electric Vehicle Charging Station from Public Electricity and Solar Panels

Using public electricity and solar panels for the easy and hassle-free charging of Electric Vehicles is an interesting solution to combat the problem of the unavailability of Electric Vehicle Charging Stations.

Reducing the noise emission from an aircraft engine at its source

As a result of a constant increase in the number of flights, aircraft noise is becoming a major source of noise-induced annoyance. This article lists down some of the sources contributing to it and proposes possible solutions for mitigating the problem.

Phormica, a functional and cost-effective system for stigmergic coordination in swarm robots

Researchers developed a system to conduct experiments in swarm robots that enables the e-puck robots to release and detect artificial pheromone to mimic stigmergic mechanisms.

Bio-inspired tissue transportation system, an alternative to aspiration-based devices in MIS

At the Delft University of Technology, a series of “self-propelling” needles have been developed for downsizing the diameter of tissue transportation systems.

The future of wind energy is modular

Rethinking the wind turbine: Students from Scotland are developing next-generation, intelligent, modular wind turbines.

Innovative MGV machine for transporting parts in production lines

The MGV (Mechanical Guidance Vehicle) device is a self-controlling device without a driver. The guidance system of this device is mechanical, without a driver. Rough surfaces, which are one of the limitations of the AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) device, do not exist for this device.

Modeling, Design, and Control of a Hosing-Drone Unmanned Aerial System

This is a multicopter that can fly close to bridges, overpasses, and other pieces of large infrastructure to perform high-pressure washing. Water is pumped to high pressure on the ground, then sent to the drone via a hose.

ADIUTOR: A novel Limb Exercising and Monitoring Device

ADIUTOR device proposes a novel approach to provide high-intensity, repetitive, task-specific self-treatment at the home of an upper limb and it can help monitor patients' progress as well as personalize their treatment with improved motivation and interaction.

Iron-based Hydrogen Storage

By making use of steam and iron pellets, hydrogen can be created with the only byproduct being rust and heat. By regenerating the rust with hydrogen, a completely circular, compact, safe and energy efficient hydrogen storage method is created.

Bringing circularity to the solar panel industry

Envision a solar panel that is fully repairable, upgradable, and recyclable at high value at end of life to support an energy transition that is truly sustainable. The technology and production process will be open source to maximize its reach to all people across the globe.

How to Survive on Mars?

A team of researchers from three leading Australian universities proposes an integrated system for producing essential materials on Mars using local resources, paving the way for self-sufficient settlements.
