Three engineering students have developed an ID tag that can be built into designer furniture and link it wirelessly on the internet. This can help prevent theft and receiving stolen goods across national borders.

Ice is a major problem for wind turbines in northern climates, costing wind farms millions of Euros annually. A new research project is developing autonomous drones that can automatically locate ice on the blades of turbines. The goal is to energy-optimise wind turbines and to make it possible to site wind turbines further north.

AU Engineering is launching three new, cross-disciplinary and data-driven research projects funded by the Villum Foundation. Among other things, the new projects will help to limit the effects of environmental disasters and improve our understanding of how cells react to mechanobiological influences.
