Atomic layer etching for nano device fabrication

Our way of living today would not be possible without modern electronic devices. Current information and communication technologies, industry, medicine and biotechnology development are made possible by the huge development of semiconductor electronics technology, based on a long-term trend of continuous miniaturization. This ALE-based method of manufacturing nanostructures with a

Movium Plantarum

Movium’s plant database Movium Plantarum was launched in 2010 and is a development of the database Swedish Dendrology (CD-ROM) from the 1990s by Sweden’s leading plant experts. Dendrology was a research project that run several years where over 1,000 trees and shrubs were described based on 17 unique plant characteristics,

New construction of an electrically amplified string instrument

To construct a string instrument that is basically intended to produce an acoustic tone quality through electric amplification is not a simple story. Part of the basic problem is diverting the energy the bow produces when it sets the string in vibration. In 2001, a 5-stranded prototype was developed and

Bioinspired Autonomous Navigation

The purpose is to investigate how we can use animal models from biology to construct methods, algorithms and systems for real- time autonomous navigation, map making and localization. The methods will primarily be based on image data and specifically target the hard, but important, case of low light levels, giving

Voice-based detection of recurrent vocal cord cancer

Several studies of people’s voice quality show promising results in the early detection of various types of diseases, such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or post-traumatic stress. This project aims to detect early recurrence of cancer on the vocal cords. By automatically analysing regular voice recordings by patients, relapse can be detected

Navigation by Sound – A mobility aid for the blind

Development of a new mobility aid for the blind or the almost blind. Our ambition is to be able to replace the white cane and the leader dog; the only primary mobility aids in use today. Development will take place of prototypes that allow long-term tests, with the aim of
