Deployable Sensor for Disaster Area

Tuesday, 29 October 2024

Tensegrity

Tensegrity sensor for disaster sites, which could be dropped from the sky (drone) to collect data for emergency response crews to examine crucial data such as gas leakage, images, and audios from survivors. Due to the risk, this deployable sensor is especially beneficial when it comes to unapproachable sites by humans. Multiple tensegrity modules stored in a basket under the drone with an automated deployment system are deployed on multiple sites nearby to the region of interest once the drone arrives at the location.

Monitoring Tsunamis

Monday, 28 October 2024

Sim One

Tens of thousands of people may perish as a result of tsunamis. Because of the way that tsunamis work, humans lack the tools necessary to detect them directly. The current tsunami warning is based on erroneous and delayed modelling results of seismic data. This system is intended to directly identify tsunamis with high warning accuracy while continuously monitoring the internal dynamics of the ocean. The offshore work vessel anchors the equipment in the open ocean and fastens it with special ropes.

Remigo Electric Outboards

Electric Outboard Motor

Remigo One

RemigoOne is the first fully integrated outboard motor in the form of a rudder. Involving boaters, sailors, and enthusiasts throughout the development process gave the team strong insights needed to redesign boating into a simple, frustration-free experience for all, including those with no nautical know-how. It is the lightest in its class, with all vital parts sealed into an IP67 watertight housing, and requires near-zero maintenance. It is also truly versatile: the same unit can propel any type of vessel up to 8m/1500kg, fits seawater, and meets regulations for use on all inland waterways.

Interactive Mechanics and Sensors

Mechcircuit

MechCircuit leverages the neodymium magnet's natures of magnetism and conductivity to integrate electronics and mechanical structures into prototypes. It enables non-expert users in the mechanical and electronic fields to design and create interactive prototypes achieved without using traditional mechanical parts. Rather than involving complicated operations including wiring and soldering, it applies magnetism and laser-cut slots to connect electronic components. MechCircuit is expected to be used in the product design iteration for a wide audience using the standard laser cutting technology.

Lamp

Nopales

Nopales is a modular lamp that ships flat as a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and can easily be broken into pieces by hand. The interlocking pieces then click together to transform into a beautiful 3D cactus. Inspired by the Mexican landscapes, the playful design can be assembled in dozens of different ways and can even grow by combining multiple cards. This Nopal not only lights up spaces with a gentle glow, but also fosters a personal connection, inviting users to become co-creators in their own luminous garden.
