Additive Manufacturing (AM) also known as 3D printing is a process where objects are produced by adding and depositing material in layers. AM offers significant advantages over traditional manufacturing namely design freedom,lead time reduction and lightweighting resulting to increased performance, cost reduction and new business models-digital inventorie...

"**Overview** This project will enable a proprietary blend of human and autonomous drone control. The aim of the project is to build a proof of concept of a service that has the capacity to match or exceed what's currently possible with a drone using conventional 'visual line of sight' rules - with significant cost, flexibility and scale advantages. **Tea...

Defects in construction work cost billions globally and >£9bn / year in Great Britain alone. Spotting defects quickly and reliably is key to avoiding or reducing these costs. Current surveying/monitoring techniques are labour-intensive, slow and prone to repeating errors. No solution currently exists to autonomously survey the inside of a construction pro...

Concrete is widely used in construction due to its ability to provide structural capacity andfunction cost effectively and at scale. However, its role in construction does not lend itself tocreativity in design. High-end clients typically demand state-of-the-art designs, presenting achallenge in a sector where every building is essentially different to th...
