INTRODUCTION & BASICS OF INDUSTRIAL DESIGN 1IO
The first year IO students get a thorough introduction in industrial design. By analyzing reference products they gain insights in product morphology, use of materials, color, sustainability ect. Ideas are visualized during the sketching courses, in the prototyping course we make the transition to a 3D object which can be tested and validated. We pay big importance to unlocking creativity and the ability to generate a multitude of different ideas.
MULTIDISCIPLINARY ENGINEERING PROJECT In this module industrial design students team up with their colleagues from electro mechanics, electronics – ICT and BCM. They design and produce devices which incorporate the fundamental knowledge of engineering sciences while learning to cooperate an in multidisciplinary team. Topics over the years were: a Sterling engine, a machine to test the strength of glues, an installation to separate plastic waste.
2IO
TECHNOLOGY & INDUSTRIAL DESIGN An important skill for an industrial designer is to master the technologies which make the human – product – context interaction as spontaneous as possible.
CONSTRUCTIVE DESIGN Students design functional, mechanical constructions. While designing they take in account stiffness, correct dimensions, connection methods and the movements of the mechanism. The project builds on the material science, mechanics and strength of materials course. Topic: As the work population keeps growing, more and more people move to the city. Since living space and workspace decreases it’s important that furniture can serve multiple purposes. Design a furniture product which can transform and serve 2 different purposes.
3IO
WORK DESIGNIN& PROGRESS PRODUCTION 3IO
Functionality, product shape, material choice and production method are all linked. Change one of them and the others will be impacted. Students study the functionality of a giving product and come up with an optimized redesign (shape – material) for an alternative production process. We test the creative ability to overcome the limitations of a production method. All designs should be documented as if they would be handed on to the production facility. Topic: redesign of kitchen aids for users with a physical disability.
WORK IN PROGRESS MECHATRONICS
4IO
In the interdisciplinary course Mechatronic Product Design and Embedded Prototyping, Students learn how to make creative use of electronics to design interactive products. At Ghent University Campus Kortrijk there is a creative and entrepreneurial attitude that leads to innovative products, thanks to a successful collaboration between students, companies and researchers. In this course students create new interactive products by effectively building and improving upon them interactively.
SMALL BUSINESS PROJECTS
4IO AMFI is a fictional company with the focus on the production of amusing and accessible board games. The aim of the company is to reach an extremely high level of accessibility and reduction of stigma, by designing using methodological tools (DFA, Design for All and Open-ended Design) and technological ones, in particular laser cutter. In this way each product can be modified and specifically realized for the end users, according with his/her needs both in terms of aesthetics and ergonomics. Special effort was done also on the Brand Identity and Business Model of AMFI. Thomas Gruwez, Dries de Kersgieter, Charles Degeyter
STYLING & CAID 4IO
Virtual Reality Helmet Dries Caelen
The shape of an industrial made product is studied and styled following material and social (or artistic) trends. Since the functional geometry of the product is defined, students can continuously switch between physical and digital shape models in attempt to refine the end product. A good understanding of emotional design is key to this course. CAID tools (reverse engineering, computer rendering ‌) help make a realistic digital model.

MASTER THESES Design of a digitally produced physical toolkit for the co-creation of low-tech assistive extensions of prosthetic arms Robbe Terryn
Thanks to the designed toolbox, patients can be involved in an iterative co-creation process with occupational therapists, designers and other thirds, in which they search for a comfortable aid. The self-evidence and ease of the kit allows the therapists to make a functional aid for their patients faster and simpler than ever, without needing help from third parties. In this way, there can easily be tested with a tangible prototype which aid, position and dimension is the most relevant for each patient, before a ďŹ nal aid is produced.

Customization GPS Robbe De Clerq The Customisation GPS a digital tool developed to guide SME’s in their search on implementing customisation. Literature research and case studies are summarised to provide understandable knowledge for companies. Questions based on company attributes decide which type of customisation is the most suited. Thereafter advantages, disadvantages, requirements and examples are provided to create a basis of knowledge to support innovation within the company. The customisation GPS provides a way to share experience on customisation which makes it possible for the tool to grow over time. Creax Thomas Valcke UGent Ellen De Vos
MASTER THESES
Going from Open-Source to Open-Ended design: a measuring tool for children with cerebral palsy Niel Liesmons This master thesis presents a measuring tool that facilitates the production of assistive seats for children with cerebral palsy. This tool enables occupational therapists to dynamically measure and quantify the 3D geometry of a child’s pelvis area and the way it should be supported. The data from those measurements can then be used to produce high quality custom assistive seats using rapid manufacturing techniques. http://openendedassistivedevices.blogspot.be/ Opendot Lab Fablab (IT) Enrico Bassi UGent Francesca Ostuzzi
MASTER THESES Mobibox Willem Vercruysse The objective of this design project is to assess and improve the product/service to fit stakeholders’ needs. During this research, we were able to test with users and improve the current service where needed. By enhancing the current design and adding a mobile component: the Mobibox, the continued support of medication intake is now provided in a way that ensures limited stigma. Besides keeping medication pouches, the Mobibox also alerts users when to take their medication and monitor their adherence in a non-stigmatizing way. Pillas Mario Huyghe UGent Jelle Saldien
Foot exoskeleton Simon Bourey This exoskelet focuses on people suffering force loss or limited effort opportunities, by recuperating energy throughout the walking cycle, the aim is to reduce their metabolic energy consumption to enlarge their reach. The recuperated energy is stored in a spring that through a locking-mechanism releases the energy during the heel off, the moment in the walking cycle that requires the most energy.

MASTER THESES Future applications for OLED lighting Wout Mareen This portable, modular OLED diffuser can be used in the field of product photography. It combines the benefits of a traditional soft box and a LED panel while eliminating the disadvantages of both. The product consists of four panels which can be connected to each-other in an arrangement chosen by the photographer. Moreover, the panels are equipped with hinges so they can be tilted under a certain angle. In this way, an extremely compact and portable lamp is obtained which offers much more freedom and possibilities in compared to existing light sources.

Anchoring scenario for Laminaria WEC Dries De Kersgieter Oceans are complex ever changing systems with a high energy density that can be harvested by Wave Energy Converters. For this WEC a dynamic anchoring system is presented that can cope with all anticipatedchanges over time and that is independent from depth or ocean seabed constraints. It is proven by iterative prototyping that by controlling density and resistance one can steer and control the prototype roughly to a desired depth and one can generate enough resistance against movement to be able to automate and optimize energy extraction in all environments for a point absorber floating on the waves.

MASTER THESES ONTWERP VAN EEN TRILLINGSDEMPENDE FIETSNAAF WAT
DOELGROEP
Bij het fietsen over slechte wegen ontstaan trillingen. Deze trillingen zorgen ervoor dat de spieren sneller vermoeid raken. Er werd een concept bedacht om deze trillingen te dempen.
CONTEXT
Er werd voornamelijk gefocust op wielertoeristen die vrij veel kilometers fietsen en meer comfort verlangen van hun fiets.
Het nadelige effect van de trillingen is het meest voelbaar op kasseiwegen. De opgewekte trillingen liggen dan in het frequentiegebied waaraan de mens het meest gevoelig is.

VERLOOP
Luc, Danny en Marc 50’ers die regelmatig samen gaan fietsen. Snelheid maken is niet belangrijk, maar thuis geraken zonder fysieke klachten des te meer.
De testpersonen reden met hun eigen fiets gedurende 10’ over kasseien en op asfalt, dit met zowel hun gewone wielset als met de trillingsdempende wielset. Na afloop gaven ze hun bevindingen omtrent de werking van het prototype. De trillingsmetingen op kasseien die reeds in een eerder stadium werden uitgevoerd, toonden een duidelijke verbetering in het voordeel van het prototype. De testpersonen ervaarden echter nauwelijks deze verbetering gedurende de (té) korte testritten.

CONCLUSIE
Vibration damping bicycle hub Korneel de Viaene As a cyclist in Flanders you are continuously exposed to road vibrations due to the condition of the road surface (cobbles, potholes, concrete roads ...). Research has shown that these vibrations have a considerable impact on rider fatigue. Goal was to dampen road vibrations as close to the point of origin as possible. The hub was prototyped and both tested with users and in lab conditions. UGent Yannick Christiaens Joachim Vanwallegem

RESEARCH
Opsoro One of the major barriers to the widespread use of robots is cost; both in terms of money and in terms of design time. The goal of this research is to dramatically reduce these costs through the use of digital manufacturing techniques and the DIY design paradigm. We focus on the design of social robots, namely robots that can communicate through facial expressions. We have created a platform -- consisting of hardware modules, electronics, software, and a design methodology -- that allows non-experts to quickly design/build/modify new types of social robots. We involve our students in our research themes by offering master theses and course assignments around the OPSORO platform. This way, we expose students to the role designers can play in the research world. The link between education and research is mutually beneficial: students get a real-world case to work on, and researchers get valuable input from student cases. Currently, we are working to set up a spin-off company to further develop and spread our platform. In December 2015, the University granted us funding to help us accomplish this. In 2016, two new colleagues joined us to help us launch the OPSORO Company! Cesar Vandevelde, Jelle Saldien cesar.vandevelde@ugent.be
