NI in the academic world
Several years, National Instruments has worked in collaboration with different universities and training centers to bring NI technology to students and trainers. Dave Wilson, head of NI academy, presented throughout the morning different projects developed with various world universities.
The fields of research and application of NI products in the academic world they are innumerable. From the efficiency in combustion engines presented by the DTU Roadrunners team until the creation of a radar system Capable of detecting small objects of centimeters in radii of up to 200 meters in runways of airports, winners of the Engineering Impact Awards 2016.
The University of Leeds has carried out, based on sbRIO and FPGA NI equipment, a project for the rehabilitation of the side effects suffered after a heart attack through robotic arms y programming in LabVIEW. with thousands of programmed algorithms, the damaged organs are exercised for their recovery.
Biostage is a medical organization for organ regeneration. Malformations and diseases in organs are detected every year, especially in the digestive and respiratory systems. On some occasions they can be operated but in many other cases it is not possible. Biostage has developed a system for the regeneration of these organs through a bioreactor monitored and managed by an sbRIO controller.
Big Data: a solution or a problem?
A large amount of analog data generated by different sources is being generated in the world. Not all the data generated is critical for carrying out preventive maintenance or simply for monitoring the operation of the systems. NI technology in collaboration with Hewlett Packard offers EDGE server solutions for managing this data locally and not having to be stored in the cloud. In addition, this data can be pre-processed locally to store only the necessary data in the cloud.
