Rapid Classification of Soil using Artificial Intelligence by National University of Singapore and Housing Development Board
|
With the use of computer vision and sensors, our artificial intelligence system can classify excavated soil rapidly and accurately, to speed up HDB's staging ground operations. This first-of-its-kind technology is more accurate, advances construction technology and can potentially increase productivity and save cost. Patent has been granted in Singapore and we are exploring collaboration with industry. |
Breakthrough Stent-Graft for Treatment of Aortic Arch Pathologies by National University of Singapore and IHPC, A*STAR |
NUS and IHPC, A*STAR have jointly developed a new generation of preferential covered aortic stent-graft to treat aortic arch pathologies. |
Replication & Repair of Hot Air THermal Defects on Composite Aero-Structures by Republic Polytechnic |
The motivation was to develop a high technology readiness level (TRL-7) to assess in-service thermal damage induced by hot-air on composite aerostructures. |

Thomson-East Coast Line - TE2 Woodlands Station by Arup |
TE2 Woodlands Station is an example of Arup-led total design and engineering that culminated in solutions that The result was a shorter interchange between MRT lines for commuters, reduced land sterilisation, and embodied carbon savings – designs that ultimately helped achieve better sustainability, social and economic outcomes. |
Unmanned Mine Counter-Measure Capability by Defence Science and Technology Agency |
The team developed advanced hardware, autonomy, and automatic launch and recovery systems, enabling unmanned assets to take over the role of mine counter measures (MCM) from manned vessels. The team also pioneered a new resiliency by design approach and validation framework to ensure reliability and safety of the new unmanned assets. |
JTC Logistics Hub (JLH) Inland Container Depot (ICD) Building - Innovative Sen Structural System by JTC Corporation |
To address the engineering and construction challenges posed by heavy structural elements due the average 45 m door-to-door height, 16 – 22.65 m spans and 25 kN/m2 live load during construction, the innovative Korean SEN Structural System was implemented at JTC Logistics Hub’s (JLH) Inland Container Depot (ICD) building. |
Development of the Responders' Performance Vehicle (RPV) by Singapore Civil Defence Force |
The RPV is the first known mobile facility in the world leveraging on science and technology to provide on-site treatment to First Responders – this engineering feat was achieved through close collaboration with partners, and During major incidents, First Responders are subject to high physical exertion and build-up of body temperature resulting from prolonged deployment under challenging operating conditions and environments. The RPV’s 3 zones – (i) Rapid Cooling; (ii) Deep Cooling; and (iii) Cold Water Immersion – provides calibrated treatment catered to the requirements of each responder to accelerate recovery in between deployment cycles of |

Deep Learning AI System for Medical Imagine Diagnosis by BioMind (Hanalytics Pte Ltd) |
BioMind® uses state-of-the-art deep learning technology to analyse brain imaging scans. It assists doctors in diagnosis and automatically generates report for them to review within seconds. Our mission is to empower physicians with machine intelligence so patients can benefit from fast, accurate and consistent diagnosis. |
InfinityGloveT– Smart Sensorized Glove for Gaming and Healthcare by National University of Singapore |
We developed and patented a smart microtubular sensor that uses liquid metal as its sensing element. This sensor, can be woven seamlessly into any fabrics or clothing and are imperceptible to the user. By weaving into a fabric glove, we developed an InfinityGlove which can track finger movements and act as controller for gaming, virtual reality, robotics and healthcare applications. |
