Name: CEED: Computational Empowerment for Emerging Technologies in Education
Description: CEED is a 4-year research project anchored at Center for Computational Thinking and Design at AU for exploring and building new practices of computational empowerment for emerging technologies in Danish secondary education. CEED addresses the core question: How do we empower coming generations to understand the complexity and impact of digital technology and become co-creators of our future digitalised society? While new technologies are rapidly transforming our everyday lives, investment in educating children about their impact and potentials has just begun, prioritizing a focus on coding skills and computational thinking over quality of life, agency and democracy.

Name: DESTECS: Design Support and Tooling for Embedded Control Software. DESTECS is a consortium of research groups and companies working on the challenge of developing fault-tolerant embedded systems. We are focussed on developing design methods and tools that bridge the gap between the disciplines involved in designing an embedded system: systems, control, mechanical and software engineering, for example. These disciplines, which have grown up separately, base design on different forms of model - some use discrete event models, and some use continuous time - inhibiting our ability to compare design alternatives rapidly and in particular to model faults and fault tolerance mechanisms that have to cross the boundaries between models. This “design gap” leads to sub-optimal designs and long development lead times.
Duration: 2011 - 2014
Granted by: EU (FP7)
Name: COMPASS: Comprehensive Modelling for Advanced Systems of Systems. The design of innovative products and services that take advantage of Systems of Systems (SoS) technology is in its infancy. It is hampered by the complexity caused by the heterogeneity and independence of SoS constituent systems and the difficulty of communication between diverse stakeholders. COMPASS augments existing industry tools and practice with an underlying modelling language in which SoS architectures and contracts can be expressed.

Title: Digitalt baseret optimering af affaldsressourcer
Partners: Bjerringbro Vægte ApS, EcoCircle ApS, Aarhus University
Description: Optimized resource use has increasingly come into focus in recent years as part of the transition to a more circular economy. This project will develop a digital device which can be used on any type of scale and enable it to perform automatic continuous logging of weighing data for monitoring and optimization purposes. The digital device will act as a minicomputer that collects and sends weighing data up into the cloud. Using algorithms, such data will be translated to knowledge about waste quantities, types and values, and therefore identifying the most efficient process for waste handling. The digital unit will be a standard unit that can be used on all types of scales in all industrial sectors. AU mission will be the development of a system architecture for monitoring waste resources and their value creation; data integration and analysis algorithms for optimization purposes.

Name: CITWIN.
The CITWIN project will rethink and reorganise our mobility systems in order to implement the 15-minute city concept in urban areas. Digitalisation is a key factor in this process, with digital twins being one of the promising technologies to be utilised. In the CITWIN project, we aim to explore this potential by developing a generic digital twin framework that allows us to model potential changes to active transport infrastructure in urban areas and evaluate their contribution towards the realisation of a 15-minute city. To make the framework applicable within the 15-minute city context, we will explicitly model and evaluate social dimensions inside the digital twin, such as the influence of the physical environment on the well-being of citizens. Two urban living labs will be established in the cities of Aarhus and Eskilstuna, and serve as a testbed for the developments within the project.
Duration: 2023 - 2027

Name: BIM2TWIN.
The use of advanced technology is essential for improving the construction industry by allowing for more efficient management, increased productivity, and reduction of operational waste and carbon footprint. The EU-funded BIM2TWIN project will create a Digital Building Twin (DBT) platform for construction site management using artificial intelligence (AI) and semantic linked data techniques. The platform will provide full situational insight on the as-built product and as-performed processes, which will be used and compared to the as-designed product and as-planned processes through an extensible set of construction management applications to implement a closed-loop Plan-Do-Check-Act process. The full process will rely on multiple onsite sensors for data acquisition and cross-domain analysis, and complex AI-based event processing. The DBT will offer an application programming interface allowing construction management applications to interoperate with its data/information/knowledge bases.

Name: FoodReFurb - Smart Sensor and Digital foodwaste processing solution
Partners: FoodRefurb ApS, Packotech, Aarhus University
Description: Today, disposal of food waste is done in one of three ways; Incineration, Biogas or biofuel or Feed for animals. The FoodRefurb project solution is different in the way that it treats the resource as a high value resource. In this project, real time sensor technology is integrated in an automated process that separates bread waste such as day-old bread and packed bread in homogeneous categories. By combining data from sensors with known product recipes we can optimize the composition of a finished bread waste product, which after drying and grinding will become ingredients in new sustainable food products. Using a novel depacking solution based on a visual identification and sensor-based mold detection technology used in combination with robot technology our solution is able to add value to this resource. As such, the FoodRefurb solution offers a fully automatic, low cost, high quality and high value solution specifically designed to increase the usability and value of food waste products. AU mission will be the design of algorithms for food tracking, data analysis and calculation of the end value products.
