A farmer can use sensors and wireless transfer to see which areas of the fields need to be watered and how much. ELLIIT Professor Björn Landfeldt and his colleague Emma Fitzgerald are supervising degree projects in collaboration with two companies, Sensative and...

The success of a project is often in the details. The European Spallation Source (ESS) in Lund is a huge construction project costing billions of Swedish crowns. ELLIIT researchers’ expertise in automatic control and microwave technology has played a key role.“We have...

Improvements in software development can benefit both companies and users. ELLIIT researchers in Lund and Karlskrona are working closely with companies, giving not only industrial benefit but also the opportunity to carry out software research at a high international...

ELLIIT researchers at Lund University are developing a toolbox to simulate integrated circuits, or chips, before they are manufactured. A chip consists of a large number of heterogeneous components that must all function together. Complexity is increasing, and even a...

Remember these words: Modelica, OpenModelica, Optimica and JastAdd. Ten years of collaboration within ELLIIT between researchers in Lund and Linköping, and between academia and industry, have made it considerably easier to simulate and optimise complete cyber-physical...

When experts in automatic control and those in real-time solutions work independently, the result may be expensive solutions. Or even total misunderstanding. Researchers in automatic control (Lund) and embedded systems (Linköping) have worked in collaboration for many...

Libraries of open-source code, readily available online, are a gold mine for companies that develop software. However, their use may introduce vulnerabilities. Debricked, a company founded at Lund University, scans the internet and warns users for bugs,...

The possibility of visualising huge amounts data is critical for increasing knowledge in fields such as climate science, materials science and medicine. Visualisation research has also given rise to several spin-off companies, and interactive and educational...

Now you don’t have to wander round searching for an empty meeting room at the office or for a particular shop in a huge shopping mall. An app in your phone can not only find it, but also show you the way there. Three sources of information indoors replace what...

Visual object tracking is a field in which Professor Michael Felsberg and his co-workers have led scientific development since 2013: their prolific scientific publications have not only been awarded several prizes, but also been cited by many other researchers. The...

Children with autism can improve their social skills with a cute and friendly robot, and older people with dementia feel calmer and more at peace with a robot cat purring on their lap. This has been shown by recent cognitive systems research, but the question remains:...

If you wander off the lane or touch the lane marking, your car tells you about it, and the most recent models can even gently take you back to the middle of the lane. Research in ELLIIT has shown that if the car also provides help during swift avoidance manoeuvres,...

For ten years, researchers in communications engineering in Lund have worked in close collaboration with Volvo Cars and other vehicle manufacturers to study communication between vehicles. The result is robust communication solutions that function in all weather...

Advances in CMOS millimetre wave circuit design were driven by a shortage of frequencies and a desire to challenge the limits of the possible. Results from ELLIIT research in Lund and Linköping have made vital contributions to Ericsson’s new base stations for 5G.As...

Research under the auspices of the ELLIIT collaboration into circuit design for 5G and 6G networks is now leading the world. Linköping University is home to a Swedish centre of expertise for both energy-efficient and lightning-fast integrated circuits and less rapid...

The “Massive MIMO” communication technology has become a cornerstone in the construction of the 5G network. Research within ELLIIT has been closely involved along the complete journey – from a new and interesting theoretical concept, through demonstrations that it...

With the spread of covid-19 around the world, it has become more obvious than ever before that the immune system differs between individuals. A major study of blood from 1000 people in France has given some insight into the riddle, using mathematical modelling and...
