Supporting the construction workers of both current and future construction sites has been the topic of the global product development challenge posed to seven final-year MSc students from BTH and Stanford University. In their capstone project ME310, which runs from November to June, they move in a Design Thinking process through phases of needfinding, ideation, prototyping and more to arrive...
More than 100 billion objects are expected to be connected by 2020 in the Internet of Things. This unprecedented opportunity to record and collect data about how we use a product (or experience a service) is main item in today’s design research agenda.
ABSTRACT The construction industry is ripe for disruption through innovative solutions that provide added productivity. Equipment manufacturers are attempting to disrupt their industry with investments in autonomy, electrification and product-service system business models. Designing solutions that will operate in completely new systems or modify an existing complex system require new approaches to address the uncertainty of system impacts. An iterative...
During two days some 25 people gathered at BTH campus and Product Development Research Lab to take part in session #2 of the National PhD course “Modeling Simulation and Optimization in the Engineering Product Development Process“.The course is given in collaboration between BTH, Chalmers, Linköping University and partner organisations Product Development Academy in Sweden and Swedish Production Academy via Produktion2030 educational programme, and...
The Product Development Research Lab at BTH are for the sixth year starting up a ME310 project in collaboration with the Design Division at Stanford University. As with the last four iterations, Volvo Construction Equipment are the industrial partner.
Ryan Ruvald is a PhD candidate at BTH employed from November 1 working with supporting engineering decision making. Ryan is part of the KKS research profile “Model Driven Development and Decision Support“.
Under höstlovet passade vi återigen på att tillsammans med Molybden och Hyper Island arrangera ett Robothon för ungdomar i kommunen, det 5’e i ordningen i denna konstellationen. Årets evenemang var fullbokat, 40 ungdomar deltog under dagen (nytt deltagarrekord) i Hyper Islands kreativa lokaler.
On Saturday September 30 a diverse team of 27 students from many of BTH’s master programs took on the challenge of innovating the Future of the Construction industry together with Volvo CE’s emerging technologies.
Volvo CE held the yearly Innovation Conference in Eskilstuna early September. The intentions with this conference were for all participants to share competence, experience and knowledge by networking and creating together.
As the summer approaches the yearly ME310 project with Stanford University draws to a close. This years’ projects were presented at the d.school on the Stanford campus in the heart of Silicon Valley in California
