Realtime Estimation and Prediction of Kinematics, Dynamics and Events for Assistive Robotic Devices: Contributions towards Assistance-as-needed KU Leuven
This PhD research focuses on the development of theories and software for assistive robot technology. The targeted audience are people that are weakened (e.g. by age, by a muscle disease, by a stroke, …) but are still able to move their limbs. The weakness however results in a decrease in mobility, which can lead to difficulties for the daily tasks.
The goal of the research is to investigate how robotic devices can assist these people ...
Integrated optimal design and control of office building systems using renewable energy sources. KU Leuven
A large potential exists to improve the current practice of HVAC design and operation of buildings with respect to occupant comfort, energy use or energy cost, and investment costs for design and construction. More specifically, design and control processes can be improved through the use of contemporary optimisation algorithms such as Model Predictive Control (MPC). Numerous papers have demonstrated the value of MPC using both simulation and ...
SmartPro: Smart textiles and wearable intelligence intelligent prototypes for industrial and useful products Ghent University
SmartPro is a project approved by the! WT within it! WT VIS program. The project aims to support the companies in the target group to achieve smart textiles and wearable intelligence with the accompanying software and data processing systems. This translates into identifying and removing the barriers to feasible to (process), useful (-eindgebruiker) and you · integrated (- exploitation) products / systems to come. Specifically SmartPRO ...

Development of geotechnical discrete element calculations on GPU Ghent University
Developments in the graphical cards for computers (GPU) have led to a calculation power in these cards that significantly exceeds the calculation power of the central processing unit (CPU). This project aims to utilize this power to perform geotechnical calculations using discrete elements by adapting existing software originally developed for the gaming industry.
Managing Positive and Negative Complexity: Design and Validation of an IT Project Complexity Management Framework KU Leuven
The world of IT engineering becomes more complex every day. IT products are larger and more complicated, projects are more and more challenging, difficult to manage and control. Complexity correlates with high risk, poor performance and high failure rates; thus the study of project complexity becomes more and more relevant for managing IT projects effectively.
At the same time, IT contributes even more to the society and economy. ...
