With the help of trainings tailored to companies in accordance with the theme “Productivity in Focus”, we respond to the rapidly changing technological competence needs, taking into account the principles of sustainable development.
Game-based learning combines the activities and principles of games with learning in a way that is very appropriate for many children and young people today. Embedded activities for learning new things motivate pupils and students to play the game and thus learn new things through meaningful actions.
NextMind is a cutting-edge startup that is revolutionizing the way we interact with technology. Using a non-invasive headset, NextMind allows users to control devices and interfaces with their thoughts through the eye movement.
The newest We Research article introduces RoboAI Health’s The New Technologies for the Assessment and Monitoring of Brain Health project pilotes brain waveform-based technology that can be integrated into clothing.
3D printing is still a very growing field of technology. The understanding of 3D printing technologies is still rather limited and its wide range of applications requires a lot of applied research.
The DigiNepsy project of Satakunta University of Applied Sciences has been working on a web application that helps to map a sensory accessibility of spaces. The idea is that the sensory load of spaces is measured together with a sensory sensitive person. The easy-to-use application will guide its users to pay attention to the main sources of sensory load and, based on the answers, will summarise the most significant sources of sensory load of the space.
In Augmented Reality (AR), digital models are visualized in the user’s real environment using smartphones, tablets, or AR glasses. SAMK is experimenting and developing augmented reality applications for the needs of industry, commerce, and services.
SAMK has been studying robotics, automation and the productivity improvements they bring from different angles for decades. ‘Tehokas konepaja’ (Efficient Machine Shop) project investigates the efficiency of machine shops in four different functions. These are digitalization, welding robotics, 3D machine vision and energy efficiency.
The goal of the research project, launched in 2019, is to study the current health status of residents of Satakunta living at home or in home care and to identify latent public diseases as early as possible. The research utilizes e.g. health data stored in the data pool.
SAMK has been researching robot-assisted walking rehabilitation using a lower limb exoskeleton with the region’s work-life partners since 2019. Of particular interest are the effectiveness of exoskeleton training in different patient groups, and the development of technology for measuring the effects of gait rehabilitation together with the University of Tampere.
