2021 Mechatronics HK Grand Finale!

This year's projects range from autonomous driving and a self-docking speedboat to machines for sustainable forestry and recycling solutions, not to mention a test rig for reducing repetitive strain injuries in factory workers!

Join us for the Zoom Presentations at kl.13 to find what the students have been up to since March, then visit the five Team Zoom Rooms to see Demos of their projects. All welcome!

Time: Mon 2021-12-13 13.00 - 17.30

Export to calendar

Due to the latest Covid situation, only KTH people and the project stakeholders can be on Campus. Friends and family and other interested parties are warmly welcome to find out more about this year's projects via Zoom.

Then visit the Demos of most interest to you via the links below! Demos for all Teams will run at the following times: 14.30 - 15.00 / 15.00 - 15.30 / 16.00 - 16.30 / 16.30 - 17.00

AD-EYE On The Edge - Autonomous Driving Platform
with AD-EYE.se

Zoom Room: kth-se.zoom.us/s/66392475686
Demos start: 14.30 / 15.00 / 16.00 / 16.30

Adding communication between vehicles and infrastructure

Enabling vehicles to communicate with and react to each other is an essential component to achieve system wide optimization for characteristics such as fuel efficiency and safety that cannot be performed by a single vehicle. To realize this type of communication the focus of our project has been the development of a Road-Side Unit and the integration of vehicle communication modules. The result of this project is then to be integrated into the AD-EYE testbed which is a testbed for automated driving and intelligent transportation systems at KTH. [ Read more here (JPG 103 kB) ]

Power Tool Test Rig for Ergonomic Assessment and Optimisation of Tightening Algorithms
with Atlas Copco

Zoom Room: kth-se.zoom.us/s/61826592914
Demos start: 14.30 / 15.00 / 16.00 / 16.30

An automated platform for repetitive ergonomic assessment of hand-held power tools

Powered hand tools are highly common in industries for nut tightening where the operator is exposed to intense reaction forces and vibrations. This project’s mission was to construct an automatic test rig able to simulate a human operator with the purpose of having a platform for repetitive ergonomic assessment of improving nut tightening techniques.

Come and see our demonstration of the test rig on Monday 13th December 14:30–18:00 in LabHallen Brinellvägen 83.

Autonomous Docking Prototype for an Electric Hydrofoiling Passenger Ferry
with Candela

Zoom Room: kth-se.zoom.us/s/63366380937
Demos start: 14.30 / 15.00 / 16.00 / 16.30

No Captain? No problem!

Candela is the world leader in innovative maritime electrification and is now taking the next step in revolutionizing the seas by developing the world’s first hydrofoiling passenger ferry, the “P-30”. To make public transport faster, safer, and cleaner, our task has been to develop an autonomous docking prototype for implementation on this P-30 platform. [ Read more here (JPG 82 kB) ]

Come to see the boat and find out more! "A.I., Captain!"  

Automated Electric Wheel Loader
with Volvo Construction Equipment

Zoom Room: kth-se.zoom.us/s/67819730058
Demos start: 14.30 / 15.00 / 16.00 / 16.30

Picking up the past, unloading into the future!
We have designed and built a scaled autonomous wheel loader. Its task is to localize bales of material using AI and then perform a load-carry-unload cycle.

If you want to see the wheel loader of the future, come to our demonstration on Monday 13 December!

MechaPlanter Automatic Plantation Machine
with Bracke Forest, Skogforsk & LTU

Zoom Room: kth-se.zoom.us/s/64024362424
Demos start: 14.30 / 15.00 / 16.00 / 16.30

Our challenge? To solve a 30-year-old problem: how to automate forest plantation. Today the majority of the seedling planted in the Swedish forests is done by manual labour but this product will help to automatize this process by identifying a plantation spot, move to it and then plant a seedling.

Come to our Demo to see the future of the forest industry!
