Case descriptions for these cases will be published soon.
Cluster 5 - Robotics & High Tech

ATR360: Integrated Data Modeling & AI Visualization Platform
This case explores the next evolution of Agellus’s ATR 360 system: integrating predictive analytics and sustainability metrics into robotic tank operations. Students will work on optimizing how data from the robots can better inform clients of asset condition, maintenance schedules, and environmental impact, contributing to a smarter, cleaner industrial footprint.


Development of Automated Separation, Selection and Transplanting of Bare rooted Tissue Culture Orchids
The current manual process of placing Phalaenopsis young plants from tissue culture into plugs impacts both quality consistency and cost efficiency. This project aims to investigate and develop an automated solution for this process. By automating this process, the project seeks to enhance plant quality, reduce labour costs, and improve overall operational efficiency.


Surprise Case: Radiation Detection and Decontamination Robot
Reinier de Graaf is a top clinical hospital in the Netherlands. At the Nuclear Medicine department, radioactive pharmaceuticals are used for diagnostics and therapy. A prototype robot for detecting and decontaminating radioactive contamination has been developed to reduce radiation exposure for personnel. Improvements in autonomous driving, scanning, and user-friendliness are needed for daily use of the robot. The project aims to enhance these features


The Science of Aircraft Seat Comfort: What about vibrations?
Aircraft seat design is crucial to passenger comfort. Current methods focus on static comfort, but vibrations from turbulence also impact perception. This project explores comfort related to 1) static comfort, 2) vibration comfort, and 3) comfort in turbulence, with support from Collins Aerospace and TU Delft professors.


Next-Gen XR/AI Integration for Cabin Crew Training
This JIP project will investigate if there are any open-source Large Language Models (LLMs) and advanced speech synthesis models that we can use in the KLM immersive XR-based training environments . The primary focus is to elevate cabin crew training by embedding intelligent, emotionally aware virtual agents directly into XR scenarios—enabling dynamic, lifelike interactions with minimal latency in real time.


Space Architecture and Robotics
Constructing off-Earth habitats presents a multitude of interdisciplinary challenges. These challenges encompass various topics such as exploration, mining and extraction of raw materials, energy harvesting, and the design, construction, and operation of structures using either autonomous or teleoperated robots. The ultimate goal is to develop an autarkic Robot-Robot and Human-Robot Interaction (R/ HRI) supported Design-to-Robotic-Production-Assembly and -Operation (D2RPA&O) system employing In-situ Resource Utilisation (ISRU) for constructing habitats and to transfer developed technology to terrestrial applications in due time.


Ethereal Machine
Currently, the Ethereal motion platform exists as a single prototype, designed and refined for mass production with mfg partners in Taichung, Taiwan ready to begin production.The code is written, and components selected and tested. The motion control is fully functional, and integrated with VR, using Unity and home-brew code.


Future-proof the NS maintenance facilities
The Dutch Railways (NS) aims to be well-prepared for the challenges of the future; to perform high-quality maintenance in our workshops despite an increasingly tight labor market and the need to keep costs minimal. For the JIP project, we are exploring various challenges: Can collaborating with robots make the work for employees in our workshops easier, faster, and more enjoyable?
