Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are increasingly used in applications such as environmental monitoring, underwater inspection, and seabed mapping. However, many existing systems are either expensive, mechanically complex, or difficult to adapt for small-scale development projects. The purpose of this project was therefore to design and develop a compact and modular AUV platform using commercially availableContinue reading “Autonomous Underwater Vehicle”

Wave energy conversion system

This project aims to prove that it is possible to build a small-scale, low-budget wave energy conversion system, optimized for near-shore operation. A prototype was developed to efficiently harvest wave energy and measure output voltage, with the intention of also tracking the wave height. The solution for the problem statement consists of a buoy madeContinue reading “Wave energy conversion system”

Simulate the eCCR system and be able to distinguish faulty sensors from correct sensors in diving apparatus

Diving is an important part of military and commercial purposes. The most advanced diving apparatus today is an eCCR, electrical Closed Circuit Rebreather. A rebreather works by recycling the exhaled oxygen that the diver breathes out. This way minimal oxygen is used compared to other diving apparatuses. An eCCR utilizes oxygen sensors, which are notContinue reading “Simulate the eCCR system and be able to distinguish faulty sensors from correct sensors in diving apparatus”

Detect electromagnetic fields that are created around a cable

The project concerns how a system can be created to detect electromagnetic fields that are created around a cable.The goal was to investigate how the location of the soil affects the electromagnetic field and thus the detection ability of an underwater cable. The problem is that the current going to the soil induces its ownContinue reading “Detect electromagnetic fields that are created around a cable”

Smart Bin solution

The project group brought to the development of a Smart Bin solution that uses image recognition technology to award users with virtual points when recycling waste. The bins are easily located using geotagging and different amount of points are rewarded depending on the type of waste being recycled. These can be further spent in shops,Continue reading “Smart Bin solution”

Tourists with children

The project group identified early on the “tourists with children” persona as main target group for the solution, exploiting storytelling as a way to motivate people to behave sustainably and recycle their waste. The pointy design of the top is intended to discourage people to leave the trash on the bin, instead than inside it,Continue reading “Tourists with children”

Norreport – The green citygate of Karlshamn

In the attempt to identify core issues in the central parts of Karlshamn, regarding the built environment, the lack of urban green spaces emerged. The project, Norreport – The green city gate of Karlshamn, suggests a new city park in the historical city gate- Norreport – located north of where the city grid pattern isContinue reading “Norreport – The green citygate of Karlshamn”

Stingray

Autonomous, multirole and modular surface vehicle STINGRAY is a fully autonomous and modular surface vessel. Due to the innovative modular system, STINGRAY can effortlessly adapt to a variety of different tasks. This includes port security and safety, search and rescue, environmental research and swarming. The finished autonomous vessel, STINGRAY, uses both a microcontroller and aContinue reading “Stingray”
