Projects

StasHH

Start:: 01/01/2021

European consortium to standardise fuel cell modules for heavy duty applications: the “StasHH mission”

INGENIOUS

Start:: 2019
End:: 2023

We will develop a set of wearable technologies and miniaturized sensors which protect and empower first responders, and their K9 companions, during response operations (natural calamities, e.g., earthquakes, and man-made attacks, e.g., terrorist...

RoboDecom

Start:: 2019
End:: 2022

The primary objective of this project is to develop new technology and processes for increased safety and efficiency in nuclear decommissioning in Norway and abroad.

SkiAlive

Start:: 2019
End:: 2022

Madshus is the oldest, still operating, producer of cross-country skis. The factory delivers advanced racing and entry level skis with regards to material quality, design, weight and defined ski properties.

Alternative Railway Electrification in Norway

Start:: 31/01/2019
End:: 15/10/2019

As many European countries, Norway has still a significant length of non-electrified railways. New technologies like hydrogen fuel cells and batteries can be a better option than expensive catenary lines.

SEAVENTION

Start:: 2018
End:: 2021

The subsea industry is constantly pushing towards reduced costs and increased safety in subsea inspection, maintenance and repair operations. Therefore we have established the SEAVENTION project: Autonomous subsea intervention - empowered by people...

Haeolus

Start:: 01/01/2018
End:: 31/12/2021

There are significant resources of wind power in areas where few people live, and which cannot be exploited due to a weak grid. A solution is to produce hydrogen and export it.

ROMO – RObotics for Moving Objects within manufacturing and healthcare – enabling the future internet of things

Start:: 2017
End:: 2021

Development of methods and tools that will enable the online estimation and identification of moving objects and support the robot interaction and manipulation of such objects in real time.

Hydrogen Fact Report for Akershus Council

Start:: 15/09/2016
End:: 30/09/2016

Akershus county (the Norwegian county surrounding the around the city of Oslo) required on short notice a fact report to draft their hydrogen strategy, and that had to be ready by the end of September 2016. They contacted SINTEF, who prepared the...

Giantleap

Start:: 01/05/2016
End:: 30/04/2019

Giantleap aims to increase lifetime and reliability of fuel cells in buses

Mobile and autonomous sensor systems - MAsens

Start:: 2015

SINTEF pushes the boundaries of autonomous drones. Mobile and autonomous sensor systems constitute a priority area at SINTEF. We offer a large range of relevant technologies and competence within this field for mobile and autonomous systems in the...
