As the world heads into the late 2020s, the impact of climate change – longer droughts, growing water scarcity and extended periods without rainfall, are becoming more and more apparent.

At team Waumer, we embarked on a journey to revolutionise water management through the implementation of self-powered IoT enabled water meters. These smart devices provide real-time data on water usage – enabling consumers and water companies to identify inefficiencies, detect leaks, and promote water conservation all without single-use batteries.

All we need is pressure – no pressure.

When mines first started being used in military conflicts, they were primarily made of metal. These mines could be identified with metal detectors, but the technology soon became outdated. Now, many mines are made of plastic, which makes them difficult to find and all the more dangerous. To make matters worse, mine detection methods in Ukraine still rely primarily on metal detection, not allowing for accurate spotting of explosives.

Our team designed a modern solution for mine detection: a drone that combines RGB cameras with a thermal camera. Accurate in detection and safe in use, this technology is another step towards casualty-free demining.

The use of good underground cable connectors plays a key role in building reliable electricity distribution networks. These cable connectors are often installed in challenging conditions and need to have a long lifetime and a low environmental impact. Our team has found a radical new approach to making underground cable connectors that changes the now commonly use leaded brass to a lead-free alternative, while also greatly reducing the total amount of brass used. We believe this new design can save costs, while also saving the environment!

Meet Elwood – a modern and sustainable electric boat. Handcrafted from Finnish wood and state-of-the-art technology, Elwood makes boat rides an unforgettable experience. Instead of a traditional combustion engine and hydraulic steering system, the boat moves quietly with an electric motor, and a unique electrical steering system developed by our team.

Team Cleandet

Without technological devices, people are rarely able to determine if they washed their hands effectively. We have created a prototype that is a reliable and accurate hand contamination detector that helps people quickly determine how well an individual has washed their hands. To realize this prototype, we use the visible light spectrum that fluoresces the contamination, and this fluorescence is filtered from the background light with a bandpass filter that a camera ends up picking up.

We have sectioned the prototype into bigger themes; hardware, software and casing. In these themes we have further made gates that need to be achieved in order to go to the next step. We iterate through this process until we hit our customer’s needs, aka our goals.

Experience shows, that a lot of time is spent for the loads of documentation, whereas it could and it has to be spent on a patient. So, the documenting device has to be as less interruptive as it can ever be. The existing photo-and- video capturing system provided by the rapidly growing company Futudent is at a high demand from dentist hospitals from West to East. However, collaboration of doctors and engineers could go even further and become more productive by creating the camera setup almost unseen to the users.
