Leonardo da Vinci is remembered in history as a “universal genius”, he was an artist, a scientist, a mathematician and an engineer. He generated a huge amount of ideas and sketches of revolutionary concepts in his days. Although, almost none of these became reality. Why was it like that? What is the reason that brilliant ideas don’t become innovations – in...
“Modelldriven utveckling och beslutsstöd” heter en av BTH:s två forskningsprofiler. Temat är hur digitala modeller kan utvecklas och användas för att snabbare utveckla nästa generations produkter som passar in ett hållbart samhälle. Under tre dagar träffades forskare och företagsrepresentanter i forskningsprofilen för att diskutera resultat och lägga ut planen för de kommande 3 åren av forskning och samverkan.
Over the past three years Volvo CE and BTH within the Product Development Research Lab at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, have collaborated within the field of Innovative Product Development. This research collaboration will now be prolonged.

The Volvo CE Stanford ME310 project has been completed with the annual Stanford EXPE atStanford University on June 2nd. Students from MSPI and Mechanical Engineering at BTH together with Mechanical Engineering counterparts at Stanford have presented their results for how autonomous machines should collaborate and build trust with their human collaborators at future construction sites.
It could be seen as crazy, or at least a little bit on the side, to focus time and efforts on designing pods for Elon Musks Hyperloop idea, or? The reasoning behind this can be read in “Why right now is the perfect moment to launch a Hyperloop startup“. At our research lab it makes perfect sense to dive into...
