DigiBatt : DIGITAL SOLUTIONS FOR ACCELERATED BATTERY TESTING Vrije Universiteit Brussel
battery cell requires a wide variety of both destructive and non-destructive tests, some of which can last for months or years. A new
paradigm for battery testing is needed that takes full advantage of the latest advances in automation, data science, and modelling to bring
battery development ...
Research on a low cost, accurate indoor positioning solution KU Leuven
Positioning is not a new problem. Humanity has attempted to determine its location for centuries with tools such as sextants, clocks, maps, and more. One of the largest revolutions in this field is arguably the advent of the global positioning system (GPS), which can provide position information almost anywhere on earth. Unfortunately, GPS and similar satellite navigation systems cannot be used indoors. The signal strength is reduced ...
Personalizing Assistive Robots: A Reconfigurable and Adaptable Shared-autonomy Framework and its Applications KU Leuven
The quality of life of people with motor impairments, often caused by spinal cord injuries, is severely reduced. Assistive robotic devices offer an opportunity to improve the quality of life of these people and help them regain a certain level of independence. A completely autonomous solution is often not desired since people have a need to keep their remaining autonomy or recover some of their lost autonomy, while feeling in control as much ...

ROSANA - RObust SemAntic NAvigation in orchards KU Leuven
Many industrial sectors (e.g. automotive) have undergone strong automation in the past decades. However, within the agricultural sector and more specifically for the fruit industry, such automation is still lagging behind due to the cost and limitations of existing automation solutions. The decreasing availability of seasonal workers and increasing cost of manual labour threatens the profitability of the Belgian fruit sector. This PhD aims to ...
A solution to the explainable intelligent knowledge distribution problem under bandwidth constraints and errors in communication KU Leuven
mHealth Approaches in Sub- Saharan Africa and Participatory Design of mHealth app for Self-management of Diabetes KU Leuven
Summary The World Health Organization (WHO) defines e-Health as the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for health. e-Health enables public health and primary healthcare through activities such as disease surveillance, primary health data acquisition and analysis, support of community health workers, tele-consultation, tele-education, research and patient management. Managing a patient remotely using ICT is regarded as a ...
Vibro-Acoustics of Rotating Electric Machines: Prediction, Validation and Solution KU Leuven
Within the context of electric mobility and the need for lower cost electric machines, emerging designs gain interests with less usage of expensive permanent magnets; for instance reluctance machines. However high tonal and unpleasant acoustic noise from structural resonances may occur. These resonances are generally excited by electromagnetic forces induced within the rotating magnetic field of the machine. Hence the accurate prediction of ...
Smart Control for Precision Mechanical Weed Management on a Mobile Robot Platform Ghent University
Mechanical weed management is a major bottleneck for sustainable yet efficient food production. Although inter-row mechanical weeding has been used for many years, intelligent and versatile intra-row weeding solutions remain unavailable due to the high complexity of agricultural environments, which show a great deal of variability. However, recent developments in both robotics hardware and machine learning, put this task within reach of ...
