The Industrial Design Section covers a range of research areas and we have research projects and groups on Facilitation, Agile Product Development, User Driven Innovation, Design Entrepreneurship, Form and Aesthetics and Service Design.
From the beginning The Industrial Design Section has focused primarily on design processes and methodology that is reflected in the research approach of most projects and The Industrial Design B.Sc. and M.Sc. programs in Aalborg.
The Industrial Design Engineering Program was established in the late 90’s in response to a perception of design as belonging to the arts and crafts arena in Scandinavia. The outset was to create a hybrid between Industrial Design and Engineering. Our graduates have a very broad profile and the hybrid model of Industrial Design Engineers have found work in a very broad range of companies from studios like Designit and Ideaal, to small and medium companies like Dolle, Nilfisk and Trip Trap to large companies like Lego, Grundfos and IKEA. They have job descriptions ranging from Design researcher, Industrial Designer, Product Designer, Mechanical Designer, Design Engineer, Product Manager, Project Manager, Innovation consultant, Business Development Manager and many others. Regardless of the job title and type of company, our Graduates can bring a strong methodological and holistic focus to the development process.
Graduates from the Industrial Design Engineering M.Sc. program can seamlessly and actively engage in technical and scientific product development process, in which analysis and synthesis of social and human science aspects in relation to needs, sales and use of products and solutions are systematically and methodically integrated through externalisation and abductive reasoning, capable of handling wicked problems and open-ended processes.

RediTreating phantom limb pain
Almost 80 % of all amputees experience phantom limb pain. A pain in the body part they no longer have. A body part they sometimes have a hard time accepting they have lost forever and the only thing that remains from it is pain. A pain so great that it prevents them from participating in their own life. Redi is a rehabilitation tool for treatment of phantom limb pain (PLP). It is designed for upper limb amputees and is the only PLP product available for patients who have lost both arms.
Redi is intended for private use, avoiding time con¬suming treatment sessions at clinics, giving the opportunity of more frequent training and thereby better results. The design accounts for single-handed use making the patient in charge of own training.
Redi is a modular system that fits all stumps, regardless of size, and it is adjustable fulfilling the need of a shrinking or changing stump.
Redi is based on technology by Integrum AB, but also includes additional features maximizing the applicability of the product as well as reducing the long process of finding the right treatment. The treatment is based on creating movements of the lost arm through motor execution that is visually represented on a computer screen. In addition to the visual feedback, auditory and tactile features are integrated to stimulate the brain through more senses.
Redi is a non-invasive rehabilitation tool and is therefore completely risk free.

1st ChoiceFuture laundy - Refresh your clothes to save time, money and concerns
This project has taken starting point in a Miele Denmark competition, where the topic has been ‘future Miele’.
As a result of today’s high availability of the automatic washing machine, most people wash their clothes too frequently. This leads to worn out and ruined clothes, as well as high consumption of water and chemicals. In order to change this pattern, we created 1st Choice, a refresher for the bedroom that cleans your clothes by removing smell. This helps the user wear their clothes multiple times before washing it in the traditional washing machine.
By a few easy steps, the clothes is clean, dry, and ready to be hung back in the closet. The user only has to put the clothes on a hanger and place it on the machine. With 1st Choice, no sorting, folding, drying, and difficult washing directions are needed. The clothes is cleaned with liquid CO2 technology (where the CO2 is reused in closed system), which doesn’t wear and tear the clothes and is used in professional dry cleaning. It takes care of dirt, smell, and grease solvent stains. The technology is found in the professional dry cleaning company, Kymi in Aalborg.
The result is less water and chemical consumption as well as less need to buy new clothes because of wearing out. The user is also going from 4 washes in the traditional machine per weak down to less than 1.
The winner of the competition is found in October 2016.

KeeCoA system of smart objects that assist a person with cognitive difficulties to cook
The initial theme for this Master Thesis project was to create a Socially Assistive Robot for patients with frontal lobe brain injury living in a rehabilitation center. Through various interviews with professionals working at different rehabilitation centers, it was identified that people suffering from brain injuries are offered very little help after ended treatment. This makes daily routines more or less impossible to perform without the help from someone else. The team therefore changed direction, to investigate this gap in the level of assistance, and focus on the difficulties these people are experiencing every day at home.
With the help from the local brain injury organization, various task opportunities were identified and from these, it was chosen to pursue the idea of creating a product to help people with cognitive difficulties to cook again.
This product is called KeeCo and is the first system of smart objects that is specifically developed from the difficulties caused by a brain injury in mind. It consists of an app, a smart scale and 10 smart utensils that are able to communicate with each other and guide through a cooking task.Through the cooking, the app shows small video-clips that guide the user to perform the right steps. While the user is cooking KeeCo will furthermore be able track the movements of how and when the scale and utensils are in use. This make KeeCo able to adjust its guidance according to the user and help according to needs. Cooking with KeeCo should feel as natural as cooking with your best friend.

ArdeaThe adaptable speargun for rough, changing ocean conditions
Ardea is an adaptable speargun designed by 4th semester master thesis students; Anders Poulsen, Anne Hjortflod Nielsen and Peter Sørensen.
The speargun is designed specially for Danish spearfishers, who experience rough and changing ocean conditions in Denmark while spearfishing. Unlike any other spearguns Ardea can be adjusted in length to accommodate the different needs coming from the changing conditions and visibility of the ocean.
Another quality of Ardea is the new way of loading the speargun. Now the spearfisher will do the loading by stretching out his legs instead of using the fairly limited strength in his arms as the existing does.
The expression of Ardea comes from the hammerhead shark. The continuos angle of Ardea gives it a dynamic and forward moving direction and an aggressive expression, which reflects the feeling of the hunt.
Ardea is the optimal choice of speargun for ocean conditions, where the visibility is low and changing. Ardea is also a speargun perfect for the spearfisher, who wants to hunt fish in different surroundings, where Ardea’s ability to change and adapt will be indispensable.

BYSØVIEW by SØ
View is a camera based meat thermometer, that reduces mistakes when roasting
View is a product, designed to make the cooking experience more simple. It is addressed to the gadget guys and helps the user with visual feedback of the food in real time whether the user is in the living room, or out in the garden, it doesn’t matter. View is always there for you, to help you keep an eye on your food.
View is mounted on your oven door with the provided magnets. It has a build-in camera providing the user with visual feedback. The wireless probe is for measuring the meat’s core temperature. It has three sensors for measuring precisely as well as an oven sensor at the top of the probe. This oven sensor helps the user by telling the actual temperature in the oven, and not just the imprecise one you get from the oven. The feedback is sent wirelessly to the user’s smart device, where he/she can keep track of the process.
View is designed with the users needs in mind, and provides the ability to relax, talk to guests or enjoy the sun in the garden, without the user having to worry about the food getting burned, or taking unnecessary check-up trips to the kitchen.
Of course the product comes with an app, which provides the user with all the information, and alerts throughout the process. Here the user can see the roast and set the goal temperature among other things. View can also be used without the probe, e.g. when the user is baking and just want to keep an eye on the baked goods.

Tolok Bicycle SecurityA user friendly bicycle rack with an integrated locking system
Every year more than 60 thousand bicycles are stolen, which costs insurance companies more than 190 million Danish crowns, not to mention that high security bicycle locks both costs and weighs a lot to carry around, while also being completely obsolete in the end, as thieves will simply cut the bicycle rack the bicycle have been locked on to.
Tolok is a bicycle rack designed with an integrated locking system that allows users to lock their bicycle in place by activating the lock. The lock is activated by a device or card with an NFC chip, such as the Danish Rejsekort and certain cell phones, which makes the activation hands-free and ensures that only the user can unlock the rack.
The lock is meant to lock around the bicycle frame’s vertical tubing, where the saddle is installed. With its two rotatable joints on the arm, the needed adaptability is achieved so that it will fit various types of bicycles and angles of the various frames.
Tolok’s minimalistic design allows it to fit into various urban settings, such as train- and bus stations, universities, schools, hospitals and in general in the urban environment at critical bicycle parking areas.

AERITYIndoor air purification by mean of living plant
Magna is the revolutionary indoor air purifier, which enhances the continuous and natural cleaning power of plants for achieving a better quality of the breathable air. Beside the remediation ability, Magna is embedded in a sitting furniture, being a design symbol of the playful and modern decoration.
The product is especially thought as a solution to the most encountered invisible threats of the air at home: toxic gasses, excess carbon dioxide and suspended dust particles found in the air. These conduct to affections as asthma or allergies and severe respiratory deficiencies.
Magna is therefore designed with a unique purification flow, circulating the air through an initial activated bamboo charcoal filter, the plants’ roots, their leaves and then leave the product through a high arrestance filter.
For obtaining the highest purification, team AERITY recommends six plants: two suitable for night cycle and four for the day one. The double-chambered Magna allows individual or common airflow for different plant combinations. In this manner, Magna can be configured for use according to the activity intensity in the rooms.
In addition to air filtering, Magna offers self-watering for the inside plants. A thermoelectric cooler collects moist from both the plants transpiration and ambient and transforms it into condense drops.

AuroraAn adaptive light system to create focus in the public elementary school
Aurora is a light system for the Danish public elementary schools that is able to manipulate the light in order to support various activities in the schools, while ensuring a good light climate and keeping a competitive energy economy.
The system is able to change color temperature, light intensity and create light spots. The color temperature changes within the CCT color scale that goes from a warm amber white to a cold cool white. The warm light is able to encourage students to get calm and keep focus, whereas the cold light is able to stimulate and encourage activity.
By using the system’s control panel, the teacher is able to switch between different light settings, which is made especially for the activities in the public elementary school. The most common light features are: blackboard focus, group focus, individual focus and standard (which gives a normal lighting). The different settings is build on scientific studies of light. If for example the “Blackboard Focus” feature is enabled, the system dims down the light above the students and create a spot on the teacher; all in a warm color temperature. This will encourage students to get calm and put their focus on the teacher.
The system gains a good power economy by: 1) Using LED´s which is the most efficient light source today, 2) From activity sensors that will make the system turn of the light if the room is empty and 3) the light sensors will dim down the light if there is already enough light in the room – which it is usually around noon.

DUCO by Grei The automatic logistics system designed for live event companies
Live events are developing and rapidly getting bigger. The audience and event planners demand extraordinary shows, which require bigger and better equipment provided by live event companies. These are responsible for planning the stage setup, executing the live show and repacking everything when the party is over. Because of the development and increased demands the live event companies have difficulties in keeping track of the huge amount of equipment, and loose equipment for more than 50.000DKK a year.
The product service system DUCO decreases this loss by providing the live event companies with control in the packing process by an improved overview of what is packed and what needs to be packed, which makes sure that no equipment is lost. The DUCO system consists of a communicative device called an E-tourlabel featuring an informative display surrounded by a color light guide. It is placed outside all storage boxes containing the equipment, and is controlled from the DUCO app. RFID tags mounted on all equipment and scanners placed inside all storage boxes updates the DUCO app with precise information about the equipment.
The DUCO system gives the responsible technician a tool from where he can control the repacking process using the light guide to point out what equipment needs to be packed in which storage box, by making the E-tourlabel light in a specific colour – meanwhile maintaining the overview of the whole packing process from the DUCO app.

FlexbotA social service robot
Flexbot is a social service robot which combines design with robotics, working with the incorporation of social robots with a high interaction with humans. The robot, which balances on a ball, is being developed by Maria Slot Jacobsen and Nicolai Odde Dam as their Master Thesis Project. The project was established in corporation with Karl Damkjær Hansen, a post-doc researcher in robotics at Aalborg University.
Flexbot bases its functionality in the use of verbal interaction, in combination with digital illustrations on the screen, to create a deeper formulation while interacting.
The project has been developed on basis of the context of Scandic Aalborg City, setting the scene for the creation of Flexbot. Flexbot is modular on a software level, giving the possibilities of changing the identity in the tablet and make it fit various contexts.
The screen is a tablet and it is possible to develop an application to Flexbot create its own functionality in a context.
The design is a result of research on human relations with robots, here the focus has been to keep the robot in a suppressive position, securing a positive relation.

SYMPHONYA self-adjusting cooking area for the future
This project took its starting point in a competition about future Miele products focusing on a product for the kitchen. Research on future tendencies has resulted in a direction, where the product offers simple solutions instead of giving the user countless choices to consider while cooking. Furthermore, focus has been to change the experience of domestic appliances in the kitchen and enhance the joy of cooking together.
The final product proposal, Symphony, is a cooking area, where cooker hood and induction hotplate communicate wirelessly, making the cooker hood adjust to the use of the induction area automatically. The front of the cooker hood opens in a wave-like motion depending on how much suction is necessary. The interaction with the induction area has been rethought, so the user moves the cookware to the desired temperature instead of turning up and down the temperature, giving the user less choices to make. Finally, the cooking area is extended to make room for pleasurable social cooking.
With Symphony, the user can focus on the fun part of cooking without having to think about adjusting the cooker hood.

A fully integrated bicycle lock - to prevent theft from the professional bicycle thieves
This master thesis project is based on the fact, that we all have tried to get our bicycles stolen. This is a growing problem in Denmark, and is a crime that neither the police nor the insurance companies put much time into addressing. There is nothing more frustrating, than finding your bicycle is stolen, when you need to go somewhere. There are a lot of solutions on the market to stop thieves from stealing bicycles. However, the current locks all focus on stopping a thief, that steals for convenience, not for profit. The professional thieves on the other hand have a cornucopia of bicycles to steal from, with close to no risk of getting caught.
The thesis product is called Penta Lock and is the first lock on the market that aims directly at stopping professional bicycle thieves. Penta Lock does not only stop professional bicycle thieves, it also makes the lock more user friendly, i.e. easier to lock and unlock, while being the safest bicycle lock on the market.
Penta Lock is sold as a standardized part to bicycle manufacturers and integrated in the bicycle from the factory. This makes it very difficult for a bicycle thief to remove and replace the lock, in order to sell the bicycle for profit.
The group is at the moment in contact with HF. Christiansen (largest bicycle manufacturer in Denmark) and Alm. Brand Insurance, in order to get the product on the market, and is currently looking for investors.
