Project 1: Critical Making exercise

Concept: Artificial Intelligence for an insect to use filmed by a phone.

Insects are not able to speak and are often not able to let other species know that they are in danger or maybe need something. Ants for example communicate through their pheromones, sounds & touch. Their antennae send out signals and for these signals we created an application that informs humans in close perimeters of the ant that they are close by. This way the human will be aware of the location of the ant and will keep this in mind so that they will try to not kill the ant.

With the help of Artificial Intelligence, the application will create a database of the whereabouts of the location, of the once registered ants.



Project 2: Cybernetic Prosthetics

Concept: make the ocean cool again

The recent Great Barrier Reef Outlook Report for 2009 (by the Australian Government) states that if we want to keep the reef alive we need to halt carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere at current levels around 400 parts per million (ppm). We are approximately adding a further 2ppm every year. So in 50 years if we keep going with business as usual we will hit 500ppm by 2050. According to the Reef Outlook Report, "At a concentration of 500ppm, it is predicted that many components of the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem would be highly vulnerable, including sea- birds, fish, marine reptiles and plankton. At about this concentration of carbon dioxide, hard corals would likely become functionally extinct and coral reefs would be eroding rapidly."  

A small cooler in the water with a heat sensor so when it measueres that the water is too hot it will turn on and cool down the water around itsself. These coolers/ filters could be disguised as coral or rocks so that the overall looks in the coral reef do not change. Based on the results from the studies at Harvard, NSLS-II, CFN, and additio- nal institutions, the scientists discovered single nickel atoms catalyzed the CO2 conversion reaction with a maximal of 97 percent efficiency. The scientists say this is a major step toward recycling CO2 for usable energy and chemicals. "To apply this technology to real applications in the future, we are currently ai- med at producing this single atom catalyst in a cheap and large-scale way, while improving its performance and maintaining its efficiency," said Wang.


Project 3: From Devices to systems

Concept: black box


You will open the 'black box' of a technical device in an anatomical machine learning lesson, and you will also dissect and analyse a concrete instance of a complex system at work. How do devices and networked systems interact? Document and research all of the parts, how they work, where they come from. Redesign and add new circuits. Put it back together with a new function and added sensor feedback loops. The basic electronics should be fully functional.

My black box was a set of remote controlled candles that my mom loves but that I hate. Because I always say that they remind me of some kind of disco I created a disco ball with these lights.
