Analysing the market need for a system that measures the
Inventors: Dr. Tristan Bekinschtein & Dr Barbara Jachs, Human Experience Dynamcs Website: www.hed-insights.com Despite many advances in medicine over the 20th and 21st centuries, the human experiences like pain, anxiety, and many other clinically relevant aspects of emotion are still mostly tracked using a simple 1-10 point scale at infrequent intervals. The inventors’ goal is to redefine…
Decarbonising the world by making multiple-occupancy buildings more energy efficient
Inventors: Dr. Anna-Maria Kypriaou & Dr. Tashiv Ramsander, Engineering & Eyesea Green Sustainability and decarbonisation are stated key priorities of many organisations but can be difficult to achieve in practise. One key way to decarbonise is to reduce the amount of energy used. In particular heating and cooling use significant amounts of energy, as do…
Investigating the market need for an AI-friendly computer memory material
Inventors: Professor Judith Driscoll & Dr. Markus Hellenbrand, Materials Science & Metallurgy 8-10% of global electricity useage is used by computing and communications technologies, and this may rise to 20-30% within the next few years. This means that the progressing digitalisation of the world, the emergence of the Internet of Things and recent rapid progress…
Identifying the route to market for a new dry methane
Inventors: Dr Vladimir Lomonosov & Prof. Emilie Ringe, Materials Science & Metallurgy Carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) account for over 90% of the total greenhouse gas emissions, making them driving factors for global warming and consequently for shaping current environmental policies. To meet environmental targets, society needs to concurrently emit less and capture more…
Improving AI safety by mapping what AIs really learn
Inventor: Dr Botty Dimanov, Computer Lab AI (artificial intelligence) or machine-based learning is now in widespread use, being used in areas as diverse as the development of self-driving cars, image, speech and sound recognition, improving search algorithms, and searching for new drug molecules. The key to the method is that the programmer develops training algorithms…
Using AI to give industrial robots a sense of feeling
Inventors : Dr. Leo Jiang, Dr. Brian Sheil & Dr. Geyang Song, Construction Engineering & JS2 Innovation The inventors have developed AI-powered fibre optic sensors to measure forces in a wide variety of contexts. Due to the flexibility and small size of fibre optics, this technique opens up applications outside of the scope of traditional force…
Sharing agricultural expertise to address the impact of climate change
Inventors: Dr. Inanna Hamati-Ataya and Mr. Hemelkart Ataya, CRASSH, Sociology and Cambridge Sustainability Initiative One of the observable impacts of climate change is the effect on which agricultural crops and products can be produced in different regions. In some cases this opens up the opportunity for farmers to grow new types of crops for their…
