Dynamic motion planning for safe human-robot collaboration.

This project was developed and carried out in collaboration with researchers from Norway and Malawi and a reference group consisting of policy makers and stakeholders in Malawi. The study shed light on the association between alcohol misuse, social...

The aim of the project is to develop chemicals for use in post-combustion CO₂ capture. The goal in Phase 1 (2008 - 2011) was to develop a chemical that used in a CO₂ capture plant, reduces the energy requirements by 35% compared to a baseline of...

New solutions and technologies for heating of buildings with low heating demand: Stable heat release and distribution from batch combustion of wood.

Tuberculosis (TB) remains an important cause of major disability and death in Malawi. The National TB control Program (NTP) was established in 1964 to reduce the incidence and prevalence of TB in the country. The Stop TB Strategy (DOTS) became the...

The future power system will be highly complex due to the integration of renewables and realization of smart grids.

The ECCSEL consortium teams up selected Centres of Excellence on CCS across Europe (Norway, Poland, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Greece, UK, Netherlands and Switzerland). The mission is to develop (i.e. build and operate) a European distributed...

The main objective in the project FAST-Tunn - Future Advanced Steel Technology for Tunneling - is to develop more efficient cutter rings for Tunnel Boring Machines (TBM) used in hard rock formations, and improve the capabilities of the NTNU model for...

The overall purpose and ambition of HyLIFT-DEMO is to conduct a large scale demonstration of hydrogen powered fuel cell forklifts, which enables a following deployment and market introduction starting no later than 2013.

SINTEF and St. Olavs hospital/NTNU are developing new technology for planning and guiding of bronchoscopy. We do this through several different sub-projects in USIGT-Lung.

The project aims to map the possibilities for, and to establish the scientific foundation for, replacing coke and coal with natural gas in the production of metals and alloys. A road map towards industrialisation is a main goal in the project.

The RAMSES project will provide the Fuel Cell community with an innovative high performance, robust, durable and cost-effective Solid Oxide Fuel Cell owing to the Metal Supported Cell (MSC) concept i.e. a cell design consisting of thin ceramic...

The Norwegian oil and gas company Statoil has developed a new concept for a remotely operated oil & gas platform located offshore. Robots operating the platform requires multiple sensors to provide the information required for operation planning and...

The overarching aim of the REFINEMENT project is to look at the relationship between different models of health care financing systems and the extent to which mental health care services can meet the goals of high quality, equity, efficiency and...
