The automotive industry is reliant on accurate finite element simulations for developing new parts or machines and to achieve this, accurate material models are essential. Material cards contain input about the material model, and are significant; however, time-consuming to calibrate with traditional methods. Therefore a newer method involving Machine Learning (ML) and Feed-Forward Neural NetworksContinue reading “Simulations for developing new parts”

Developing an autonomous sensor cleaning system
In collaboration with Volvo Group Trucks Technology, Construction Equipment and Innovation Hub, Blekinge Institute of Technology, and Stanford University, a joint effort was made to develop a product for the future market using biomimicry. By conducting needfinding and consulting with users and experts worldwide, it was discovered that there was a need to keep sensorsContinue reading “Developing an autonomous sensor cleaning system”
Popup green infrastructure for construction
Question How might we support EV/alternative energy sources adoption in places where there is no infrastructure (or is broken) but has the greatest needs? As the global population constantly increases in combination with the electrification of vehicles and other equipment becoming more and more common, the need for off-grid energy is becoming critical worldwide. InContinue reading “Popup green infrastructure for construction”
DNES for tracking Dirt Digitally
The high degree of digitization in today’s society enables tracking of materials and equipment at construction sites, which provides a deeper understanding and potentially optimizes efficiency. In this way, you can optimize the use while making demands on suppliers on what type of material and equipment you as a customer want and be able toContinue reading “DNES for tracking Dirt Digitally”
Reglove -recyclable single use gloves
A project between Blekinge Institute of Technology and Stanford University. ReGlove, a circular solution for recycling and remanufacturing Personal Protective Equipment in the form of single-use gloves made from a special form of Polyvinyl alcohol. The solutions consist of machines that are designed to facilitate the loop from cleaning and sterilizing used material to aContinue reading “Reglove -recyclable single use gloves”
