HandCOMM: AI Solution for Crane & Workers’ Safety

The construction industry heavily relies on mobile cranes for the off-site modular construction, emphasizing safety in operations. Despite standardized hand signals, inadequate and interrupted communications between mobile crane signalmen on the ground and crane operators pose significant risks of accidents, especially during blind lifts or lifts in severe weather. This research project aims to develop […]

Correlation of the data from automated core characterization, including mineralogical characterization, with geoenvironmental laboratory tests using artificial intelligence (AI) methods

The main objective of this project is a comprehensive methodology that combines automated core characterization and AI methods to accurately forecast the geoenvironmental parameters of a deposit. By developing predictive models, this approach will enable the creation of a 3D geoenvironmental block model for the targeted deposit. This model will facilitate the prediction and optimization […]

Development of new techniques for dynamic security assessment of power systems

In power systems, dynamic simulation studies are required to ensure safe and secure operation of electrical grid. In these studies, different devices, such as generators and transmission lines, are represented by a mathematical model with a number of predefined parameters. The accuracy of the simulation studies highly depend on the models used for different components. […]

Development of Robust and Consistent Automated Sorting System for Baby Chicks

This project aims to support the development of an automated chick sorting device that uses software, cameras, and conveyors. Techniques to increase the consistency of chick reactions to maintain separation along a conveyor and to induce wing spreads will be explored. The wing spread is required to expose to biological markers that exist on the […]

Preparing bio-plastic form lignin and chitosan extracted from renewable resources

Plastics play a vital role in our daily lives, touching various sectors such as construction, healthcare, automotive, agriculture, and packaging. Packaging films, in particular, serve diverse purposes for both food and non-food items. However, the widespread use of disposable plastics leads to a significant waste issue. To address this, there’s a growing push to replace […]

Assessment of microplastics released by reusable face masks under different conditions

Face masks play an important role in preventing droplets and filtrating exhalations coming from infected subjects or against various threats in the wearer’s surroundings. Approximately 129 billion single-use masks were discarded per month worldwide during the pandemic. The inadequate handling and management of single-use face masks cause many environmental problems. In contrast to disposable masks, […]
