OPTi

Luleå University of Technology is the coordinator of the OPTi project. Eight partners participate in the project, which has totaled EUR 2.1 million from EU Horizon 2020 under the Energy Program. The project has a duration of 38 months starting March 2015.

AEROWORKS

The project has in total received 5.6 million Euros from the EU Horizon 2020. The funding for Luleå University of Technology is one million Euros and the project will run for three years, starting in January 2015.

BAHRT

New understanding of motor control and falls by novel postural sway analysis, robotics and mathematical modelling

Falls and fear of falling pose major threats to health and independence among elderly people. Our objective is to gain further knowledge regarding balance control aspects on fall risk and fear of falling

DISIRE

The Disire project har received six million Euros funding from the EU venture Spire, which is part of the Horizon 2020. The project is coordinated by Luleå University of Technology and among the other 15 project participants are universities and industrial companies from Germany, Poland and Italy. The project starts in January 2015 and will run for three years.

Optimal composition of ashrich fuels

The project aims at improving the efficiency of the conversion step in the fuel chain, to expand the raw material base with ash-rich fuels.

Traction Control for Off-Road Construction Vehicles

This project aims at improving traction control characteristics for wheel loaders and haulers. Locked differentials cause increased wear of the driveline and increased fuel consumption, problems that research might solve.

R5-COP

R5-COP focuses on agile manufacturing paradigms and specifically on modular robotic systems. Based on existing and newly developed methods for a formal modeling of hardware and soft-ware components, R5-COP will support model-based design, engineering, validation, and fast commissioning. Using existing interface and middleware standards R5-COP will strongly facilitate integration of components from various suppliers.

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Control

The objective of our research activities in the area of UAVs is to design novel control schemes that will improve the accuracy and efficiency in different maneuvers and application scenarios.

Diagnosis of Bearings Faults

One of the most common sources of failures for the electrical machines is coming from the bearing faults and based on the related literature these faults are almost 40% of all the faults that electrical machines might have.

Fault Detection and Diagnosis

iRoad

The project combines on-going research activities at Luleå University of Technology with knowledge of the industry partners to design intelligent road marking units which can cooperate with other intelligent infrastructure systems and intelligent vehicles.

Mine Patrolling Rovers

"No human presence in the mines", is often a vision in the mining industry. The project Mine Patrolling Rovers aims towards increasing the technological readiness in autonomous operations.

Optimal control of wood drying

The long term goal with this project is to produce a superior system that can minimize energy consumption – while maintaining the drying quality – of kilns.
