Smart Handling of moderate loads Hasselt University

Applied Computer Science Lab
The overall goal of the project is to develop novel smart handling system architectures for moderate payloads that would result on the design of a smart handler with following characteristics, (1) ability to handle varying payloads with minimal physical stresses on operators, (2) flexibility to handle different loads (both in weight and shape) at different reach distances. As a direct consequence, this new smart handler would drastically reduce ...

ERGO-Eyehand: Ergonomic Monitoring and Improvement Hasselt University

Applied Computer Science Lab
The project aims to investigate solutions that reduce the ergonomic risk for operators. For this we want to develop the following: 1) Off and online ergonomic risk assessment methods; 2) Software to design and optimize the layout of a work cell in terms of ergonomics; 3) Control logic for adaptive collaborative robots (cobots) to reduce the ergonomic workload for operators who work with heavy workpieces. This will lead to faster ergonomic ...

Faster assembly and maintenance through augmented reality Hasselt University

Applied Computer Science Lab
The overall goal of the project is to create an economically feasible user-centered Augmented Reality application methodology for flexible assembly and inspection in a low volume/high mix manufacturing environment, which (i) requires limited reprogramming effort for new product variants, (ii) results in a flexible work instruction scheme giving maximum freedom to the operators and (iii) is independent of markers for the online state estimation ...

Location-secured cryptographic solutions based on acoustic signals for smart embedded connected systems and passive nodes KU Leuven

Vincent Rijmen
ESAT - COSIC, Computer Security and Industrial Cryptography, Electrical Engineering Technology (ESAT), Ghent and Aalst Technology Campuses

Connected devices are creating a smart world: smart homes, hospitals, and cities, smart cars, logistics and industries. The success of new applications employing wireless devices will heavily depend on the security of these embedded systems. The geographical position of persons and devices can be very relevant information in many applications requiring secure authentication over wireless links. For example, contactless payment solutions and ...

PU learning from relational data KU Leuven

Jesse Davis
Informatics Section

An algorithm, like a human, is said to learn if its performance on a task improves as it gains more experience. For example, consider the task of labeling an abnormality on a mammogram as benign or malignant, where experience consists of a radiologist’s description of an abnormality and its known label. Traditional machine learning approaches for binary classification require having access to fully labeled data, containing positive and ...

Free Generalized Monoids for Programming and Proving KU Leuven

Tom Schrijvers
Informatics Section

Programmer productivity is key in today's software development: broader functionality must be provided on more projects, in less time and with fewer developers. Yet, productivity often suffers because programmers structure and reason about their programs in an ad-hoc manner.

This project aims to remedy the situation by applying concepts from category theory, an abstract branch of mathematics, to systematically structure programs. More ...

Improving comprehensibility and performance of risk prediction models for decision support in clinical environments KU Leuven

Katrien Verbert
Informatics Section

Visual analytics (VA) combines automated analysis with visualisation techniques to gain insight into complex datasets. The overall objective is to create a feedback loop and to enable end-users to steer the analysis process. Whereas much advancement has been made in the field, there are still several open challenges associated with this “human-in-the-loop” approach to data analysis. A first key challenge is to enable end-users to understand ...

Next level mutation testing: fewer, smarter & faster (NEXT-O-TEST). University of Antwerp

Serge Demeyer
Co-Design of Cyber-Physical Systems (Cosys-Lab), Antwerp Systems and software Modelling (AnSyMo)
Software-updates are omnipresent in today's digital era and the release cycles within ICT companies are getting faster and faster. Tesla for example loads new software in its cars once every month; Amazon goes even faster and pushes changes to its servers every 12 seconds! With such fast release cycles the need for effective quality assurance is rising: software teams must take all possible steps to prevent defects from slipping into production. ...

Computational modeling of materials: from atomistic properties to new functionalities. University of Antwerp

Francois Peeters
Condensed Matter Theory
The WOG "Computational modeling of materials" aims to: - Promote interdisciplinary computational material research, bringing together groups from physics, chemistry and materials science, and providing them with a platform on which to share their expertise in order to arrive at an integrated and pragmatic approach in order to develop opto-electronic, thermodynamic and structural properties of materials to study. - Develop new techniques and ...

The information content of dynamic cues in human sound localization. University of Antwerp

Herbert Peremans
Condensed Matter Theory, Engineering Management
Understanding the workings of human sound localization, and in particular which acoustic cues we use to perceive our acoustic environment in three dimensions (3D), is not only of fundamental interest, but has become increasingly relevant in the light of nowadays advance of 3D audio displays through headphones. In the past, most research has focused on the role of static cues , i.e. when the head and source are stationary, yet it is known that ...
