𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗸 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘂𝗽! 𝗢𝗻 𝗡𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬 𝗣𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗿 𝗗𝘂𝗿𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰 𝗱𝗶𝗴𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗔𝗜 𝗶𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗲𝗻𝘃𝗶𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀. Intelligent Systems: Leveraging AI for Environmental Perception and Control   Navigating real-world environments, whether guiding robots or managing biological processes, is complex and unpredictable. In this Tech Talk, Associate Professor Petar Durdevic from Aalborg University will share research from his lab, where he and his team use artificial intelligence (AI) to interpret and control intricate environments. The talk will focus on deep learning methods designed to meet the unique challenges of complex environments.   “For example, when you drive along a road, the rules of traffic are known to us, and we all follow the same rules. But inside a wind turbine, there are no roadmaps or rules, and it’s more difficult to navigate this type of environment. Our research can help improve this navigation. I will be presenting research on sensor technology, robot technology and how we can use these to optimize systems and make them safer, more efficient, and reliable,” Peter Durdevic says.   The team’s research integrates data from different sources, such as images and sensors, to train AI models capable of making sense of these environments. These models enable the creation of simulations that train systems to navigate and manage both 3D and 2D spaces, benefiting applications like robotics and automated process control.   Attendees will gain insights into how AI-based systems are developed and applied to better capture, understand, and manage the dynamic nature of real-world settings.   Where and when: November 20, 3-4pm, Helix Lab, the staircase.

🌏 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘀 𝗡𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗮𝗿𝗱 At some point, many of us realize that life isn’t always a straight path and that we don’t live forever. For Thomas Bartholdy F. Neergaard, this realization has led to an exciting new chapter. After three years as Scientific Director at Helix Lab, Thomas has chosen to step away from his role to pursue a lifelong dream: exploring the world.   As Thomas says: "The time is right for us now, not in ten years when we might not be able." This winter, he’ll begin his journey in Australia with his wife, embarking on the first of many adventures, and his decision reminds us of the courage it takes to embrace what feels right, even when it means leaving a career path to follow a personal one. We at Helix Lab wholeheartedly support Thomas in this decision and are inspired by his commitment to living authentically and intentionally. Congratulations, Thomas – we wish you nothing but the best! ✨

🌍 The Future of Energy: Black Gold From Sewage 🚀 At yesterday’s Tech Talk, we explored a fascinating shift in energy innovation. Leendert Vergeynst, Assistant Professor at Aarhus University, introduced the groundbreaking Sludge2Fuel project, demonstrating how hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technology can transform sewage sludge into sustainable biofuel and fertilizer. Imagine—future fuels might not come from oil fields, but from wastewater treatment plants! A huge thank you to Leendert for such an insightful presentation and to everyone who joined the discussion on this exciting and impactful topic. Looking forward to seeing you at our next Tech Talk at Helix Lab on November 20th, 3-4pm. Save the date! #Sustainability #TechInnovation #Biofuels #CircularEconomy #CleanEnergy

Join our next Tech Talk: Black Gold from Sewage. What if there are hidden treasures in the industry's sludge and waste? In the future, we’ll need far less oil, and what we do need might not come from oil fields, but from wastewater sludge. At this Tech Talk, Leendert Vergeynst, Assistant Professor at Aarhus University, will introduce the innovative Sludge2Fuel project, showcasing how hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) technology is transforming sewage sludge into sustainable biofuel and fertilizer. This groundbreaking process not only removes pollutants but also turns waste into valuable resources, which supports a circular economy.  Join the talk to discover how this technology could revolutionize waste management and green energy production in the future.

Tech Talk: Black Gold from Sewage Could there be hidden treasures in industrial sludge and waste?

Bringing People Together Through Technology 🚀 Last week, Helix Lab hosted a Tech Talk that provided valuable insights into the latest advancements in CO2 capture technology. Attendees had the opportunity to hear from two industry experts: Philip Loldrup Fosbøl, Associate Professor at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), and Kathrine Høeg Johansen, Project Manager at Ørsted. Their presentations highlighted the critical role that innovative technologies can play in addressing climate change. The event attracted a diverse audience, including students, local residents, and industry professionals—exactly what the Helix Lab Tech Talks are designed to do. “Our goal is to be a hub where science and the community meet,” says Helix Lab Director, Anette Birck. “We want to make cutting-edge technology accessible to everyone and foster dialogue across professions, companies, and the local population. It's about bringing the future of technology to Kalundborg and ensuring everyone can be part of the conversation.” We hope to see you at our next Tech Talk on October 16th, 2-3pm.

🌍 Tech Talk on the 24th of September: CO2 Capture and the Fight Against Climate Change 🌍 Reducing CO2 emissions is crucial in the ongoing battle against climate change. But what if we could capture, store, and even repurpose CO2? Enter CCUS (Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage)—a key technology the UN Climate Panel recognizes as essential in mitigating climate impacts. At this Tech Talk, two industry experts will share their insights into the technology driving CO2 capture and the critical role that Asnæsværket will play in reducing Denmark’s carbon emissions. Our Speakers: 🔹 Philip Loldrup Fosbøl, Associate Professor at DTU, will explore the latest innovations and potential in CO2 capture, storage, and conversion. 🔹 Kathrine Høeg Johansen, from Ørsted, will present Ørsted's Kalundborg CC Hub and discuss how CO2 capture at Asnæsværket is crucial for Denmark to meet its 2030 and 2050 climate targets. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn about cutting-edge solutions in the fight against climate change! 🌱 Read more and sign up here: https://lnkd.in/djhbB8ig
